Ashe Farmhouse

Ashe Farmhouse is a farmhouse that may date back to the late medieval period, with a ceiling added in the late 16th century. The east end was rebuilt and enlarged in the late 18th to early 19th century. The building has a roughcast exterior over rubble and features thatched roofs with coped verges on the addition. There are brick stacks at the gable ends of the addition and at the center of the original block. The farmhouse is laid out in a T-plan, possibly originally having an open hall with a service end that was rebuilt with a larger cross wing, along with an outshot and addition on the north front.

It stands two storeys high, with the south front having a layout of 1:3 bays. The left gable end includes a small 20th-century window, while above the entrance is a similar 2-light window in the left end bay, flanking a 3-light headed iron casement. On the ground floor to the left, there are two 2-light leaded iron casements. The entrance is located in the left end bay of the main block and features a 3-light leaded iron casement. There are two entrances to the stack: one with a plank door on the left and a 4-panel door on the right, both sheltered by thatched hooded porches. The re-entrant angle has a segmental-headed 3-light leaded iron casement.

Inside, there is a moulded 4-panel compartment ceiling to the left of the double stack, and chamfered lintels with scroll stops at the right end of the rood. Similar features are found in the bedroom above, which also has a good early 17th-century plasterwork overmantel adorned with arcaded bays and a frieze of fruit and wine leaves. There is evidence of a 3-bay jointed cruck roof, and an early 19th-century stick stair that likely occupies the original cross passage.
