Ablington House

A detached house dating from the mid-17th century, with later 18th and 19th-century additions and 20th-century alterations. The house is constructed of random rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof, with concrete tiles to the rear service wing. It is two storeys with an attic, and includes a two-storey front porch and a rear staircase addition. A large two-storey wing with an attic extends to the west, while the east wing was converted from a former coach house. A long, single-storey rear wing runs along the back.

The earliest part of the front elevation, in the centre, features two gables with ball finials. There is a single, ovolo-moulded casement window below each gable, all with hoodmoulds. The windows are three-light to the ground and upper floors, except for a two-light and two-light arrangement on the ground floor to the right, and a two-light window to the attic; some have relieving arches. A two-storey, flat-roofed porch was added in the 20th century, with a Tudor arched doorway and plank door, and a cross window above. Rectangular chimneys with moulded caps are present, with that to the end having paired shafts, indicating the original gable ends of the house. The gable end of the west cross wing has a ball finial and restored mullioned windows; a doorway on the ground floor has been blocked. 20th-century mullioned windows are found on the east wing. The west end features a single three-light mullioned casement window on each floor of the wing, with two hipped-roofed dormers. A restored single-storey wing was added in the 20th century to the left. Scattered segmental arched windows are present on the service wing.

The rear, gabled stair-wing has single-light, ovolo-moulded casements with hoodmoulds. Inside, a large 17th-century Tudor-arched fireplace with decorated moulding stops is a notable feature in the main room. A barn is situated to the north-east, and gatepiers stand to the south, aligned with a formal garden laid out on both sides of the road.
