Description
Ash Tree and Watswold is a late 15th-century hall house that has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries and is now divided into two cottages. The building features a timber frame, with sections of painted brick and painted roughcast. It has an old tiled gabled roof that includes dormers and three chimneys along the ridge, with one positioned in the center. The structure consists of four framed bays and stands one and a half storeys tall, with attics.
The front facing the road has irregular small-paned casements, with two gabled dormers in the center that also have two-light small pane casements. There are gablets breaking the eaves at both ends. The 19th-century entrance door is located under a pent tile roof supported by plain brackets. Inside, the timber frame is visible, featuring jowl posts and the remaining pointed arched heads of a hall window located at the rear of the end bay.
