Description
Ashtonwood House is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with gable-end parapets and kneelers. The roof has a gabled finial at the east end and a pair of square ashlar ridge stacks with moulded cappings at the west end, along with a brick stack at the rear of the ridge. The house is one-and-a-half storeys high, with half-dormers and a cellar.
The building has three bays, with stone chamfered mullioned windows that have hoodmoulds and returns in the outer bays. The ground floor windows are four lights with a central king mullion, while the half-dormers contain three-light windows. There is also a small two-light mullioned window in the central bay beneath the eaves. The gabled half-dormers feature parapets with kneelers, gabled finials, and small rectangular lights in the apex.
The central entrance has a chamfered four-centred archway with a moulded architrave, a hoodmould with returns, and a 20th-century door. To the right of the door is a small 20th-century rectangular light. The east end of the house has a three-light window on the first floor and a two-light attic window, both with chamfered mullions and hoodmoulds. There is a 20th-century single-storey kitchen extension at the west end, which includes a three-light casement and a glazed door in its south elevation, as well as a 20th-century lean-to addition at the east end.
Inside, the house features ogee stop-chamfered main ceiling beams and a large fireplace in the west bay.
