Description
East Ash Manor is a farmhouse dating from the early 19th century, with some parts possibly older. It is constructed from plastered granite stone rubble, featuring stone rubble stacks topped with brick and a thatched roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the main block containing the principal rooms facing south-east. This section has a two-room layout with a central entrance lobby and staircase, and each room has end stacks. A kitchen wing with a gable-end stack projects at right angles to the rear of the left front room.
The exterior is symmetrical, with a three-window front centered around a doorway that features a 19th-century part-glazed panelled door behind a 20th-century gabled porch. The doorway is flanked by 24-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 19th-century casements with glazing bars, including a central two-light window flanked by three-light windows. The roof is gable-ended on the right and hipped on the left. The kitchen wing has 19th and 20th-century replacement casements with glazing bars.
Inside, the building has plain carpentry details where exposed, and much of the joinery is original, including a stick baluster staircase. The kitchen features a massive fireplace with a walk-in curing chamber alongside it. An interesting aspect of the kitchen is an old bench that slopes from normal height at one end to about 100mm at the other, possibly designed for young children. The roof was not inspected, but some straight principals were visible on the first floor.
To the right of the front, a low granite stone rubble wall with curving granite ashlar coping extends south-eastwards between the front garden and the lane, topped with 19th-century wrought iron railings. There is also a 19th-century mounting block at the end of the house.
