This collection comprises a digital archive of photographs, reports and vector drawings from a Descriptive Buildings Record (Historic England Level 2 standard) by Locus Consulting of a farmstead at Ashes Farm, Fenny Bentley, Derbyshire. The survey was undertaken in June 2022 in order to satisfy a conditional approval of an application for planning permission for the conversion of outbuildings at The Ashes Farm into a residential use.

A Level 2 Building Survey provides a descriptive and visual record, as defined by Historic England's Understanding Historic Buildings (2016), Section 5.2. The survey at Ashes Farm was undertaken to record the current external and internal character of the two storey combination barn that forms the central and northern building within the U-shaped range of outbuildings.

The farmstead at Ashes Farm comprises a mid- to late-17th century, detached, double pile farmhouse with extensions, a 19th century U-shaped range of outbuildings forming a central yard, and an additional modern barn with rectangular concrete surface. It lies within the Peak District National Park. The northern U-shaped range was constructed in the 19th century in a single phase, as part of a complex of agricultural outbuildings which were built in response to the changes in farming intensity as a result of the 19th century revolution in agricultural practices. The external elevations of the combination barn survive well to eaves height, above which the originally hipped roof has been replaced with a modern corrugated sheet covering. Internally the character of the building has been eroded through the loss of extensive parts of the first face. Many internal wall and floor surfaces have been rendered over with modern materials, although significant areas of traditional brick and stone rubble fabric remains. Little carpentry or fixtures and fittings of note survive, save a small number of doors and ironmongery.
