Ashlawn

Ashlawn is a large house built in 1869 by George Devey in the Kentish Vernacular style. It is constructed of red brick with curved tile hanging and some timber framing, topped with a tiled roof and brick chimney stacks. The building is asymmetrical and roughly L-shaped, featuring two storeys and attics.

The north or entrance front is made of red brick on a stone base and has two gables with carved bargeboards and pendants. It includes casement windows and a recessed entrance with a door that has a rectangular fanlight. The east front is dated 1869 on the right-hand end and features red brick with a black brick diaper pattern on the stone base, along with two projecting brick gables. The attics showcase decorative timber framing, with the right-hand gable displaying quatrefoil motifs and the left one being close-studded. The first floor has mullioned windows, while the ground floor features both mullioned and transomed windows. An external brick chimneystack on the left side has diaper black brickwork.

The south or garden front has two gables, with the left side gable having a ground floor of brick and a first floor hung with curved tiles. It also has mullioned windows and a bellcast between the ground and first floors supported by four wooden brackets. The right side gable features diaper brickwork on the ground floor and a pebbledashed first floor with tile-hung attics, along with one mullioned window. A modern hipped tiled roof conservatory is located in the angle between the south and east facades. The west side elevation has a red brick ground floor and a curved tile-hung first floor, with a slightly projecting external brick stack that has multiple flues. Part of the original service wing has been demolished. Inside, there is a well staircase with wooden splat balusters.
