23 And 24, Aston Magna

Numbers 23 and 24 Aston Magna are a pair of large cottages dated 1726, featuring a tablet with initials, a crudely carved angel, and an enriched border. They are two storeys high with attics and constructed from coursed and squared rubble. There is a band over the ground floor, except for the left-hand bay of No 24. The cottages have a tiled roof with a coped verge to the left and three ridge chimneys—two in brick and one on the left made of ashlar with a moulded capping.

The windows consist of two and three-light chamfered mullion casements, arranged symmetrically on No 23, which has a central chamfered doorway with a slight step in the band above it and a half-glazed door. No 24 features a gabled porch with a three-centred head entry.

No 23 has a blocked former entry and a corbelled projection in the gable to the east, possibly for a bread oven. No 24 has a later-looking left bay, but there is no straight joint, and the bonding is continuous.
