Cottage Between The Firs And Ashill Farmhouse

The cottage between The Firs and Ashill Farmhouse is a two-storey building, likely from the 18th century, originally part of The Firs. It is constructed of local stone pebbledash rendered with Ham stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof that abuts to the west and has a coped gable to the east, along with a brick chimney stack. The cottage has two bays, a plinth, and a band course. The upper bay 1 contains a plain 6-pane sash window with a keystone above, while upper bay 2 has a similar window with added 2-pane sidelights. The lower bay 2 features a composite sash window with 4+12+4 panes set in an architrave, and lower bay 1 has a doorway with a beaded surround framed by attached Tuscan columns, topped with a plain entablature and a flat dentilled hood. Inside, the front room includes a Regency pattern 6-panel door within a 18th-century architrave and an 18th-century fireplace surround. The late 18th-century overthrow is located in the hall, and the room at the rear has cased beams that may be part of an earlier structure.
