Description

Ashen Hall is an 18th-century house that features a timber frame with a plastered exterior and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of two parallel ranges that are aligned approximately east-west, with a southern aspect. It has internal chimney stacks located at both ends of the front range and at the west end of the rear range, along with a 19th-century external chimney stack at the west end of the rear range. The house has two storeys and presents a symmetrical elevation.

The entrance features a six-panel door, with the top panels glazed, set within an open pediment doorcase that includes engaged columns and a fanlight with radiating tracery. There are two original splayed two-storey bays that have been fitted with 20th-century casement windows, along with an additional 20th-century casement window situated above the door. The building is finished with a dentilled cornice and a parapet.
