Details

ASTON BY SUTTON C.P. ASTON LANE SJ 57 NE South West of 3/43 Wing of former Aston Old Hall, now Gamekeeper's Cottage and store. GV II Gamekeeper's cottage and store, formerly a wing of Aston Old Hall, later C16 altered. Pebbledash above rendered brick flush plinth; indications of oak-framed structure beneath pebbledash. Graded grey slate roof, formerly thatched. 2 storeys, 4 windows. Round-arched central opening and 2 doorways with boarded doors, one apparently old (broad boards on shaped wrought iron hinges) at front; 7 small-pane horizontally sliding sashes and 1 replaced 3-pane casement. The left structural bay is of longer span than the others. Each gable end has a curved surface, out of plumb, suggesting warped oak frame beneath pebbledash. The right gable is jettied above an oriel window now masked in pebbledash. A watercolour in the Aston papers at Aston Lodge shows Aston Old Hall with Elizabethan framing comprising the present gamekeeper's house and a main wing linking it to the Dovecote (q.v.).
