Ashby House

Ashby House is a house dated 1738 for J. Sumption, featuring an ashlar front and rubble stone construction with a Bridgwater tile roof, coped gables, and end wall stacks. The building is three storeys high with a regular three-window facade that includes raised quoins, moulded cornices at each floor level, and a parapet. The windows are chamfer-mullion style within architrave surrounds, with two-light windows on the second and first floors, and the ground floor originally had three-light windows on each side of a flush cyma-moulded doorcase with a hood supported by brackets. The left side window has had its mullions removed for casements, while the right side window has been replaced by a 15-pane early 19th-century window. To the left, there is a one-storey and attic addition with a coped west gable, a two-light cyma-moulded window, and a door in a moulded flush doorcase. Inside, there is one reused bolection-moulded fireplace.
