11/74 No. 27 (Ashton Cottage)

GV II

Houses adapted as row of 9 railway workers' cottages. Probably C17,
heavily remodelled circa 1865. Rendered timber frame and slate roof
with break in eaves between Nos. 35 and 37, and fish-scale slates on
dormers. One storey and attic. 9 gabled semi-dormers with decorated
barge boards, finials and 2-light wooden casements; 4 ridge stacks
and semi-integral end stack to right. 9-window front; wooden 2-
light casements alternating with 4 pairs and one single boarded door
with pilastered surrounds, friezes and cornices. These cottages were
reputedly remodelled from earlier buildings to provide accommodation
for the workers of The Bishop's Castle Railway, opened in 1865.
