One Ash

One Ash is a small country house built in 1894 by Larner Sugden for W. Wright. The house features a granite rubble stone ground floor with a plinth, while the upper sections are made of red brick, accented with a stone band. It has a plain tile roof with stone coped gables and brick ridge and side stacks. Designed in the Queen Anne style, the house has two projecting gables with the entrance situated between them.

The building stands two and a half storeys tall and includes three sash and casement windows with shutters. The central recessed doorway is flanked by sidelights with curving glazing bars and an overlight, topped by an elaborate leaf pattern decoration in the arch above. Above the doorway, there is a curving balcony supported by carved stone consoles that extends to the left, forming the top of a bay with curved corners featuring a sash window arrangement of 4/4: 8/16: 4/4. To the right of the front door is a tripartite sash window with a configuration of 2/2: 8/8: 2/2.

On the first floor, there are 4/4: 8/8: 4/4 sash windows on either side of a recessed door that is part-glazed, along with a 2/2 window. Each gable contains a 2-light casement window with a curving lintel decorated with projecting brick keystones. To the left of the front entrance, there is a glazed door with a curved canopy. The sides of the house feature similar windows, with a tall staircase window on the right side filled with stained glass.

Inside, the house boasts fine details, including a staircase with turned balusters, an inglenook-type fireplace, a plaster overmantel in the Drawing Room, and decorative plaster ceilings. In the Billiard Room, there are two tie beam trusses supported by stone corbels carved with children's heads, and the walls are decorated with printed linen.
