Description
Ashcroft House is an early 19th-century house built of deeply-coursed sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and features three first-floor windows, with a double wing at the rear. The building has a plinth and a central doorway that has a 20th-century French window inserted into a projecting ashlar surround with a cornice. The flanking windows have projecting sills and 16-pane sash windows, with lintels that are rusticated as voussoirs. The first-floor windows are similar in style. The house has shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, along with wallstone end stacks that have tabling. On the left side, there is a 20th-century conservatory to the right and a lower two-storey wing to the left that features some horizontal-sliding sashes.
