Description
Aish House is a large, detached house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed with stucco and has a cement paint finish, topped with a slate roof featuring large, pedimented gable ends and paired brackets to the oversailing eaves. The house has a double-depth plan and a band at the first-floor level.
The architectural style is characterised by a symmetrical two-storey, 2:1:2 bay facade with plain, tall sash windows with glazing bars. Steps lead to a wide central porch supported by two pairs of Tuscan columns, above which is an entablature and glazed, panelled double doors. The tympanae of the pedimented gable ends contain bullseye windows with glazing bars, and a round-headed stair window is present on the north-east side. Two plain rendered chimney stacks are situated just in front of the ridge.
Inside, the house features a vaulted plaster hall ceiling, a plain staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, and a landing with a modillion cornice. Rooms are adorned with marble chimney pieces and moulded cornices, with the drawing room retaining original metal pelmets.
