Ash Cottage With Attached Outbuilding To Right

Ash Cottage is a house with an attached outbuilding, dated 1786, with an early to mid-19th century outbuilding added to the right. The house is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone with a stone slate roof, while the outbuilding has a C20 pantile roof. The house is two storeys and two bays, featuring quoins. The central entrance has a C20 panelled door within an ashlar surround, with rounded inner corners to the lintel; above this is a fragment of medieval inscription protected by an open pediment on cavetto brackets. There are four-pane sash windows with ashlar projecting sills and deep lintels. The lintel above the ground-floor window to the right is inscribed "IE" 1786. Shaped kneelers, ashlar coping, and rebuilt end stacks are also present. The attached single-storey outbuilding, which was formerly a butcher’s shop, is of rubble construction with a pantile roof. It has board doors within a segmental-arched opening of dressed stone, alongside a small window; and features coping to the right.
