Ashgate House

Ashgate House is a hospice that was originally built as a house in the mid-to-late 18th century, with 19th-century additions and alterations. It was converted into a hospital and then into a hospice in 1988. The building features rendered rubble and brick with ashlar dressings, flush and advanced quoins, and a boldly projecting eaves cornice. The gables are coped with moulded kneelers, and there are brick gable stacks along with stone slated and Welsh-slated roofs.

The main range is three stories high with a single-storey parallel range added to the east end. The south elevation of the main range has two bays and three storeys, showcasing coupled tall sash windows without glazing bars on the ground floor, set within moulded stone surrounds. The first floor features two Venetian windows, while the second floor has Diocletian windows, all with 20th-century joinery. The west gable has altered windows, but retains one surviving two-light flush mullioned window. The single-storey range has two tall sash windows without glazing bars in plain surrounds.

The east elevation displays twin gable ends, each topped with a tall coupled chimney stack with a moulded stone cap. Each gable has a tall semicircular headed window opening, with the southern one altered. There is a central flat-roofed ashlar porch that includes semicircular headed windows and a doorway.
