Description
Ashfield House is a house that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century, including changes to the windows, and restoration in the 20th century. The building is constructed of grey gritstone rubble and has a graduated stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has three main bays, with an additional bay added to the right. The corners of the building feature quoins.
The entrance consists of a 20th-century half-glazed door located between the second and third bays, set in a chamfered quoined surround, with the lintel raised and an overlight added above the door. There are blocked doorways that have been converted into windows to the right of the first and third bays. The ground-floor windows include three-light flat-faced mullion windows in chamfered surrounds for the first two bays, and a three-light recessed chamfered mullion window in the third bay. On the first floor, there are three windows, each with three lights, all featuring chamfered surrounds and flat-faced mullions. The building also has shaped stone gutter brackets and corniced ashlar stacks located at the left end, between the first and second bays, and to the right.
The added bay features a board door on the left and a 20th-century window frame on the right, which contains a six-pane sash window on the first floor. There are two flights of external stairs to the right leading to another board door, with a dog-kennel door below. Inside, the main range has a square opening for a fireplace with a single-block incised lintel, narrow jambs, and a chamfer in the second bay. Originally, the house was likely a farmhouse in the 17th century, which was later divided into three cottages in the late 18th century to accommodate workers from the lead mines.
