Description
Lower Ashen Clough Barn is an early 18th-century barn located in the parish of Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside, on the west side of Maynestone Road. The barn is constructed of coursed gritstone with large quoins and features gritstone dressings. It has a stone slate roof with a catslide over the rear outshuts and consists of five bays.
On the south elevation, there is a full-height quoined opening to the west, which contains double plank doors. To the east, the barn slopes down with the land, featuring a chamfered quoined doorcase with a massive shouldered lintel and a plank door. There is a similar doorcase further to the east, with quoins immediately beyond and an additional bay. Between the quoins and the full-height opening, there is a regular pattern of ventilation slits.
At the rear, there is a wide chamfered archway with a segmental head and quoined sides, also with double plank doors. The eastern outshut has various 19th-century openings, and at the extreme east, there is an early chamfered doorcase with a shouldered lintel.
