Description
Ashfield House is a house built around 1820, constructed from gault brick with hipped slated roofs and internal chimneys of gault brick. The building has two storeys and features a five-window main range, which was extended by an additional five windows to the right in the mid-19th century, along with a further four-window service range to the right. The windows are small-pane sashes with flat arches made of gauged brick. The entrance door has six panels, with the upper panels being fielded, and it includes panelled reveals and reeded pilasters. Above the door is a semi-circular fanlight with radiating bars. A terrace spans the width of the front elevation, with an urn on a plinth at each corner. On the left (east elevation), there is a semi-circular flat-roofed bay featuring three tall small-pane sashes, while this elevation also has French casements. At the rear, there is a metal-roofed verandah supported by enriched openwork cast iron columns and lintels. The house was noted to be in poor condition at the time of the survey.
