Description

Ash Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse from the 17th century that has been remodelled. It is constructed from cut and squared ham stone and features a triple-roll clay tile roof with high coped gables, indicating it may have originally had a thatched roof. The farmhouse has two storeys and consists of three bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned, with all being three-light except for the lower bay one, which is four-light. The lower bay two has a chamfered cambered-arched doorway with a square label above and a boarded door. There is a wide two-bay extension on the north gable that includes casement windows, along with a further lean-to against the north gable. Although the interior has not been seen, a report mentions a cross-passage between two rooms in the older south section, fireplaces at both ends, and a rear outshut with a separate stair. The roof has not been examined.
