Description
Ashnola House is a house dating from the 18th century and early 19th century, with an older rear section, featuring a complex form. It has two storeys and attics in the front range. The building is primarily timber-framed and rendered, with some areas of white brick. It has a plaintiled gambrel roof adorned with brick dentil cornices on the sides and a wooden modillion cornice along the front.
The house has a five-window range with small-paned sashes in flush frames, three large flat-headed dormers, and external slatted shutters on the ground-storey windows on the south side of the central front door. To the north of the door, there is an early 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension made of white brick, featuring a slate roof and sash windows. The front door is 18th-century, set within a doorcase that includes an open pediment, panelled pilasters, and dentil ornament.
Additionally, a large two-storey mid-19th-century porch has been constructed over the entrance door. This porch has an open lower storey and a room above, is rendered, has a shallow-pitched slate roof with fluted bargeboards, and includes a single small-paned sash window.
