Description
Little Ashurst is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with a 19th-century facade. It is timber framed, featuring a ground floor of chequered red and grey brick set on a coursed stone base. The first floor is tile-hung, with the base of the tile-hanging raised across the central section. The roof is covered in plain tiles and is steeply pitched, hipped to the left and gabled to the right over the hall bay. The right end bay is also hipped but has a lower ridge. There is a stack to the left of centre and a slender projecting stack at the left end. A rear dormer is present. The building has irregular fenestration with five casements, including three three-light windows and two adjacent single lights. Access is through a ribbed door that is reached by three steps leading up to a brick and stone lean-to porch beneath the stack. The interior has not been inspected.
