Ashton House

Ashton House is a house located at the bottom end of a row on Gloucester Street in Painswick. It features an early 19th-century front that conceals a structure from the 17th or 18th century. The street-facing side is built with large square limestone blocks and has a concrete tile roof with a coped verge and a brick chimney stack. The building is positioned right on the pavement edge and extends back to two gables at the rear.

It is two storeys high with an attic and a part basement, and it has four windows. On the ground floor, there is a plain sash window set back in a blocked door opening, along with three additional plain sashes that have simple stone architraves featuring keystones and projecting sills. The first floor has four sash windows arranged in a 2 + 2 grouping, with the same surrounds as those below. There is also a small two-light gabled dormer at the eaves on the right side.

A six-paned door is set in a deep reveal between the paired windows, with two glazed panels under a flat stone lintel that has an incised name. To the left, the plinth meets the pavement and contains a square opening that is set very low below the fourth window. One of the back wings features an eaves stack. The frontage and roof of Ashton House are continuous with those of St Anne's.
