Ashfield

Ashfield is a large house, now converted into flats, built around 1860 and attributed to the architect Cuthbert Brodrick. The building features coursed squared gritstone and ashlar with a slate roof. It stands three storeys high and has a south-facing range with three bays and a lower-roofed wide central rear wing.

The south front includes a central stone porch supported by paired chamfered columns and features a keyed segmental arch with an acanthus motif on the gable. The entrance has a six-panel door, with the top three panels being glazed. The windows on the ground and first floors in bays one and three are three-light plate-glass sashes, some of which have had their frames replaced, and they are adorned with chamfered mullions and shouldered arches. A single-light window is located at the centre, while the second floor has paired windows. Continuous sill bands run around the entire building, and ornate paired gutter brackets support the deep eaves. The front range also has ornate gables on the left and right returns, a canted bay window, and three-light windows on the right return and the rear wing.

At the rear, the wide wing features a semicircular bay window with a three-light window above it on the right side. There is a wide gable with a round window and deep eaves similar to the front. The roadside facade has single-light windows, a gable on the left, and altered openings in the centre and right for flat entrances.

Inside, the entrance hall is divided into two sections, with Minton floor tiles remaining in the left hall. The staircase was removed when the building was converted to flats around 1930. The rear room, which has a semicircular bay window, features a ceiling cornice and rose, as well as a carved wooden fireplace decorated with swags and bird trophies. The wide rear wing, round window, and eaves detailing are reminiscent of Brodrick's Oakfield at No. 7 Alma Road.
