Description
Row of Ashes Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the early 17th century, with an 18th-century addition that was refronted in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of squared and coursed rubble, featuring a concrete parapet on the south front, while the rear and side walls are finished with limewashed render. It has wooden lintels, slate roofs, and rendered and ashlar stacks.
The farmhouse is two stories high with a five-bay south front. The windows are early 19th-century sashes with cast iron marginal glazing bars, including two on the ground floor to the left and two on the upper floor, along with two blocked openings. There is an additional upper 20th-century sash window and two 20th-century doors on the ground floor to the right. The central door features a moulded architrave and a flat hood supported by carved brackets, which are now much decayed, with one supporting post. This door is a six-panel design with two rectangular fanlights.
The end stacks are made of ashlar, with the left one partially rendered. The rear facade has three gabled projections, with the central one being advanced and featuring two stories and attics. The ground floor has four-light oak mullions under wooden lintels and hoodmoulds, with some renewal of sills. The first floor has three-light casements in original openings, and the end attic gables have two-light mullions, along with a plank door to the central attic gable, all under hoodmoulds. There is one tall rendered stack on the central advanced section and two lead cross gutters adorned with embossed vine decoration.
Inside, the farmhouse features several stop-chamfered beams, a large inglenook in the stone-flagged central ground floor room, and a newel staircase.
