5/60 Ashtree House -
- II
Former farmhouse. C16 and C17, with early C20 additions, probably by Herbert Groom. Timber-framed, with exposed timbers on the front and early C20 brick nogging; thatched roof with ornamental ridge. 2 storeys and attics. The building consists of a 4-bay main range flanked by 2 matching lower sections, all in the same style. 2 internal chimney-stacks, one at each end of the main range, in matching style, with ornate brick shafts, moulded bases, and attached starred caps. There are other similar, though not identical, examples in the neighbourhood. 4-light mullion-and-transome style windows to main range, 3-light casements to sides; and 4 3-light eyebrow dormers, all with diamond leaded panes. Central plank door with arched spandrels to surround. The oldest part of the building is the lower section on the left end: 4" chamfer to main beam on the ground floor, ogee and reversed braces at the corners in the room above, blocked original window, fireplace with an arched timber lintel. The central range contained a 2-bay hall and 2 service rooms, but all partition walls have been removed and the whole area made into one large room. Original open fireplace on left, with a plain timber lintel; later stack on right with a surround in ornate Edwardian Jacobean style. Chamfer and curved stops to main beams and joists; good close studding. The main posts have very long jowls and no bracing; in the rear wail, housings for a 5-light mullioned window with hollow chamfer mouldings. Roof with principals and cambered collars. The lower range on the right end is an addition of circa 1900 in matching style. Various extensions at the rear, of similar date, are rendered, with pantiled roofs.
