4/289 Little Ashley Farmhouse
GV II
Farmhouse, C17 altered, rubble stone with hipped slate roof and one small ridge stack to right. Two storeys and attic, one small dormer to front. Front range has 12-pane sashes, two window-range each side of centre, the sashes apparently replacing late C17 cyma- moulded recessed stone cross windows. Projecting centre gabled porch bay with 6-pane window above under hoodmould and studded plank door below in moulded flush frame with dripcourse over, stepped over centre small blank plaque. Dripcourse is continued around left side wall and was over at least one ground floor window to left, but has been cut back. Ground floor to right has been altered for early C20 ashlar canted bay attached to porch side. Window to right has pair of sashes in C18 raised moulded surrounds. East side wall has one 2-light mullion window with hoodmould. Rear left side projects with large dormer gable to left and gabled stair-tower to right. Dormer gable has single-light above and 2- light with hoodmould below, stair tower has single light with hoodmould in gable and 2-light with hoodmould at half level. North west angle of stair tower has various wall recesses. Recessed section to right has C20 openings to ground floor, then a former dairy and cheese-room wing, altered in C20 conversion, runs north. Interior: heavily altered c1970 when ground floor was opened up by removal of two large chimneys, one replaced on smaller scale, but original chamfered beams with stepped run-out stops survive on both floors and chamfered joists. Stair tower has winding stair with solid oak treads. Roof has two trusses surviving, tie-beam and collar, possibly C18. House is recorded in 1665 as a tenement belonging to Tidcombe family of Little Ashley House, sold 1683 and subsequently, before being bought 1705 by E. Bailey of Bradford from whom it passed to the Fisher family who held it until mid C19. Evidence would appear to suggest a house mostly of late C17 with roof altered later, but quite possibly there is a core of C16 or early C17 date.
