Ashley Chase House

Ashley Chase House is a large house set in grounds, originally designed as a shooting lodge in 1925 by Sir Guy Dawber for Sir David Milne-Watson. The building features unsquared rubble walls and hipped slate roofs, with thick clay tiles at the eaves. It has tall rubble-stone stacks located behind the left front gable, at the right-hand end wall, and at the rear wall towards the east end. The house has an irregular plan, with a short wing at the left front and an oblique wing at the rear, and it stands at two and two-and-a-half storeys.

The entrance front includes a total of six windows. The ground floor has a combination of 4-, 4-, 4-, a door, 3-, and 2-light stone mullion windows, all featuring straight chamfers. The windows have metal casements with lead lights made up of small rectangular panes, with a mixture of 2-, 3-, and 4-light versions for the remaining windows. The gables are in the Cotswold style, with two on the left front and one at the center above the door bays.

The doorway features a pointed-arch entrance with slightly straight-chamfered jambs made of roughly dressed stone. The door itself is a plank design with studded muntins and transoms. Above the front door, there is a carved coat of arms with the motto "Des et Patriae omnia debeo." The rear elevation shows irregular fenestration on the oblique wing and the back of the main house, with a canted bay in the angle that contains the stairwell, and a smaller canted bay to the right. The windows range from 2 to 6-light stone mullions. The canted bay has a large ogee cap above it, and there is a door on the side of the main canted bay with hollow-chamfered and filleted jambs, topped with a segmental head. The keystone features a shield with the date 1925 and the Milne-Watson monogram. The oak door is also a plank and muntin design with a segmental head. The interior has not been inspected.
