Description

Minicleave is a small house located in Ashreigney, dating from the early 18th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure features rendered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof. There is a projecting rendered rubble stack at the right gable end with a brick shaft, and a rendered brick shaft at the left gable end. The original layout consisted of a two-room plan, with the larger heated room on the right. A 19th-century lean-to was added to the left end, which was later extended to two storeys in the 20th century. The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window front with early 20th-century casements in one, two, and three lights. The addition on the left is recessed, and the line of the former lean-to roof is visible on its front wall. There is a 20th-century timber and glazed porch with thatch roof to the right of the center, featuring part-glazed doors. Additionally, there is a single-storey thatch-roofed former outbuilding at the right end. The interior was inaccessible during the survey.
