28, West Street

28 West Street is an early 19th-century house located in Ashburton. The front is solid and rendered to imitate masonry, topped with a slated roof and featuring a red-brick chimney on the right gable. The house appears to be single-fronted and double-depth, with a side passage on the left that now serves as an open alley leading to a detached rear block. This rear block was originally connected to the main house by a wing on the right side of the courtyard, of which fragments still remain. The building has three storeys with a garret and is two windows wide. The ground storey has two-paned sash windows, while the upper storey features eight-paned sash windows. There is a moulded board below the eaves, and a pent-roofed dormer contains a four-light wood casement window, with each light having six panes.
