Description

Ashleigh Hundred House, also known as The Corner House, is a late 15th-century cloth hall that has been converted into three houses and extensively re-clad in the 18th century. The building is timber-framed with weatherboarding on a brick plinth, and has a plain tiled roof with a tall brick stack behind the ridge on the right and a slope stack at the extreme right. It features projecting gabled wings at both ends of the front, which appear to be underbuilt jetties, with wavy-edged bargeboards on the right gable. The house has two storeys and garrets in the gables. The front has one window in each gable on the second floor, six on the first floor and five on the ground floor, all arranged somewhat irregularly. A large shop-style window is located at the extreme right, while two wooden cross-windows are situated on the first floor under the right-hand gable, with a single casement above. Other windows are wide, multi-paned sash windows. There are boarded doors to the right of the extreme left-hand window, to the left of the right-hand projection, and to the left of the extreme right-hand window. A further entrance is located in the left-hand end. The interior retains a substantial timber frame with heavily jowled posts. The central section has a crown post collar purlin roof, and a similar roof is present over the solar (in the right-hand section, Hundred House). Two doorways survive in Hundred House.
