Ashday Hall and Attached Buildings

Ashday Hall and attached buildings is a house, with a rear date of 1738. Fabric from this date may also survive to the front, although the building was altered in the early to mid-19th century. The house is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof. It is double pile on plan with a 2-span roof. The front facade is symmetrical, with three bays and two storeys. The doorway has an architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a cornice. The blocking course of the cornice forms the apron of the window above, which is a sash with a plain stone surround. This feature may date back to 1738. To either side of the doorway are full-height semi-circular bays, each containing three windows with curved continuously set glazing bars. Raised and fielded panels are between the storeys. A cornice runs across the facade, although chamfered rusticated quoins are only present on the right side. Two stacks were originally positioned on the original gables, but the roof is now hipped to the left, covering an additional bay with a Venetian window which has been lowered to a door with a 2-light sashed window above. A later 19th-century bay was added further to the left, to which is attached a carriage arch and a long stable range at a right angle. The carriage arch is tall and round-headed. A two-storey range with a recessed stone staircase features 4-light flat faced mullioned windows, likely tack rooms and accommodation.

The rear of the building has four bays and includes band and giant pilaster strips, with a cornice. There is a stone Tuscan pilaster doorcase with "1738" carved into the frieze. Above the doorcase is a window with a moulded architrave, keystone, and sill. The two bays to the right of the door have undisturbed sash windows with plain stone surrounds, although the first bay has coupled sash windows, which are probably from the 19th century.
