Ashleigh House

Ashleigh House is a central house and the remains of an adjoining house, originally part of a terrace of three, dating to the early 18th century. The main house is ashlar-faced on a coursed stone plinth, with alternating chamfered quoins. It has a stone slate roof with projecting eaves, a coped end verge, and a brick end stack to the right and a stone end stack to the left. A slate roof covers the remaining single-storey portion of the house to the right. The principal section is two storeys high and features two 12-pane sashes in shallow reveals on each floor, as well as an entrance within a rear extension. The facade has been altered, and the building was used as a shop in the early 20th century. A wing to the right has a small rear extension and a particularly tall plinth, approximately one metre high. It contains a twelve-pane sash window with thick glazing bars set within a moulded stone architrave and a bull-nosed sill. The original stone doorcase has a moulded architrave extending down to the plinth, a pulvinated frieze, and a moulded cornice, incorporating a fully glazed door. A plate glass shop window is located to the left and was originally from the 19th century, featuring a decorative iron ventilation grille above.
