SNN114723 - 2 Mill Cottages, Nene Way, Ashton, Peterborough: Historic Building Recording Report

The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd were instructed to undertake a programme of historic building recording at 2 Mill Cottages, Ashton, Peterborough, ahead of a proposed scheme of redevelopment. The survey corresponded with Historic England Level 2 guidance and including a photographic, drawn, and written survey supported by archival research. The surveyed structures comprised a range of outbuildings enclosing a courtyard which were located to the north of an early 18th century residential dwelling. The building is located in the close vicinity of a historic mill with which it may have been historically associated as a dwelling. On site investigation supported by archival research provided evidence for phases of alterations and extensions to the property and outbuilding, suggesting a rearrangement and reconstruction of the outbuilding during the 19th century, as well as changes to the main house including construction of a large extension, alterations to internal floor levels, and changes to the fenestration scheme including the introduction of sash windows from the mid-19th century
