Description
Lower Aish Guest House is a guest house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features roughcast solid walls, likely made of stone, and has a slated roof. There are large granite chimneystacks on each gable, with a slightly larger rendered stack on the ridge, offset to the right. The building is probably designed with a three-room and cross-passage plan, with a hall stack backing onto the passage. It stands two storeys high and has a front that is four windows wide. All windows are six-paned sashes with horns.
There is a single-storey entrance porch with solid walls and a slated pent roof. The round-arched granite doorway is moulded and features carved spandrels, one of which contains the date 16--, possibly 1653. To the left of the porch, the ground-storey front wall has a slight pent-roofed projection.
Although the interior was not inspected, historical accounts mention that the porch bears the date 1656 and the initials TH. The house has been in the Hamlyn family for at least two centuries and contains a large fragment of oak panelling with a familiar linen pattern. The building suffered significant fire damage around the 1930s, according to information from Mrs. F Wilkinson.
