Description

Ashtead Park Farm House is a house that was rebuilt after a fire around 1730 and has been altered since. It is constructed of red handmade brick with some burnt headers and features a red tiled roof. The tops of the chimneys have been recently rebuilt in modern brick that matches the original color. The house has an L-plan layout, consisting of a single-depth main range with a service wing at the rear of the left end and a stair-turret at the angle. It stands three storeys high and has six bays, with part of the structure over a cellar. The design is almost symmetrical, featuring a three-course band over the ground floor, a moulded wooden string course over the first floor, a dentilled eaves band, and a prominent bracketed cornice.

The doorway in the third bay is framed by a shouldered architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a bracketed cornice, with a door that has six fielded panels. The five windows on the ground floor have 19th-century 12-pane horned sashes with exposed boxes and gauged brick heads. The six windows on the first floor have unhorned 12-pane sashes with thick glazing bars, while the second floor features two-light casements with leaded glazing. There are also two segmental-headed cellar windows to the right of the door. The roof is hipped with two spans and has a rectangular ridge, with extruded side-wall chimney stacks at both ends.

At the rear, the main range includes a 12-pane sash window on the first floor and a two-light casement above it. The stair-turret has cross-windows on two levels, and the wing features 12-pane sashes on two levels. A large modern conservatory has been added at the angle with the stair-turret, and continuing to the rear of the wing is a single-storey former dairy that has been altered into a sitting room.

Inside, there is a panelled entrance hall with two chamfered axial ceiling beams. To the left of the hall is the dining room, which has full-height fielded panelling. The open-well staircase features an open string, three bobbin balusters per tread, columnar newels, a broad ramped handrail, and a large wreathed curtail. However, one flight of the top stage has a 17th-century style with a closed string and stout turned balusters.

In front of the house, there is a garden wall approximately six metres away, built from similar materials. It has square gatepiers aligned with the front door, topped with pineapple finials, and includes a wrought-iron gate with a twisted overthrow. A similar gateway is located to the left.
