Ashtrees

Ashtrees is a house and shop, now functioning solely as a house, dating from the late 18th century, with an extension added in 1932 and further alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of dressed limestone on a plinth, featuring tooled sandstone quoins, while the extension is made of squared sandstone. It has a panel roof and rebuilt stacks.

The structure is two stories high with a two-window front, accompanied by a lower two-story, single-window wing to the left and a two-story lean-to extension to the right. The wing has a six-panel door and an unequal 12-pane sash window to the left, both topped with thin timber lintels. The first floor features a squat 8-pane sash window. The main front windows are tripartite 16-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills and heavy tooled lintels. The eaves cornice is cavetto-moulded, and the gables are coped with shaped kneelers. There are end stacks and an additional stack at the end of the left wing.

Inside, the ground-floor rooms retain their shutters and window recess panelling, which consists of raised and fielded panels. In the room to the right, there is a plain stone fireplace set within a timber architrave, topped with a dentilled cornice shelf over a fluted frieze.
