ASHPRINGTON Lime Tree SX85NW 6/27
GV II
Small house. Probably C18, divided into 2 cottages in Cl9 and reunited into one house again in C20. Local stone rubble, rendered right hand end wall. Asbestos slate roof, gabled left had end and hipped right hand end. Stack at left hand gable end and rear lateral stack, both with rendered shafts. Plan: The original plan is uncertain. The existing arrangement is probably the result of the C19 conversion into 2 cottages. The right hand cottage has lateral stack at the back and the partitioning off of an unheated front room is probably a Cl9 alteration. The left hand cottage had an entrance and stack in the left hand gable end, it had 2 rooms, the central room containing a staircase at the back. In the C20 the cottage were reunited into one house. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window range. C20 12-pane sashes, except for the ground floor right which retains a circa early Cl9 12-pane sash. The 2 ground floor left hand windows have cambered slate arches. Doorway to right of centre with early C19 6-panel door and a C20 weatherboard gabled porch. Doorway in the left hand gable end is blocked. The outshut at higher ground level at the rear is built of stone rubble and has a low-pitched corrugated iron roof. Interior: All the internal joinery is C19. The left hand gable end fireplace has a stone arch and is now blocked. The lateral fireplace at the back of the right end has a simple C19 kitchen chimneypiece. The centre room has a Cl9 staircase at the back with stick balusters and chamfered square newels. Roof: Elm roof trusses, the collars pegged and nailed to the faces of the principals which are morticed at the apex.
