Description

White Ash, also known as Nos 1 and 2 Onnen Wen/White Ash, is a two-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features a timber frame supported on stone footings and has a slate roof that is half hipped at the ends. The structure consists of three bays and follows a type C lobby entry plan, with an additional timber-framed lean-to added at the south end.

The original building showcases cruck framing, with the curtailed blades visible on the end gables. However, these have been cut back to accommodate a later timber-framed front wall that is three panels high. A four-flue brick stack, which was rebuilt in the 19th century, is present on the building. A gabled glazed porch is situated over a half-glazed door, and there are two-light Gothic metal-framed windows designed in an Estate style.

In front of the service end, there is a cast iron fountain or hydrant from the 19th century, created by Blakeborough. This features a short column with a moulded base and shaft that ends in a domed head with a fluted terminal. It includes a turn cock on the sides and a short spout at the front, which discharges water over a cast iron gridded utensil footstand that is bolted to the column.

The building was not accessible at the time of inspection in November 1994.
