Description
Ash House is a house built in 1683, with alterations made in the 18th century. It is constructed from slobbered rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with three bays. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have plain stone surrounds. The central bay contains a door with moulded jambs, which have been cut back, and a shaped lintel that displays the date '1683' along with defaced initials. There are traces of blocked mullioned windows visible in the stonework, and the left-hand gable has coping. The house has end chimneys, with the left-hand chimney featuring a cap with weathered offsets and the right-hand chimney having a round cap.
At the rear, there is a wing that has chamfered window surrounds of 18th-century style on its west wall. Inside, the right-hand room is adorned with pine panelling that includes raised and fielded panels along with fluted pilasters. The left-hand room features two exposed chamfered main ceiling joists, one with pyramid stops and another that may have once supported a firehood bressumer. The rear wing contains an oak dog-leg staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, and a ramped handrail. In the rear room, there is a moulded shouldered fireplace.
