Ash Tree House And Attached Wall

Ash Tree House is a house dated 1685, situated on Everdon Stubbs Road. It is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with a plain tile roof, and has stone end and ridge stacks. The house follows a 2-unit central staircase plan. It is two storeys and an attic, originally displaying a 3-window front. The main front, facing the garden, features a central 6-panel part-glazed door with a chamfered timber lintel. To the left is a 3-light wood mullion and transom window with a timber lintel, and to the right a 2-light chamfered stone mullion window. The first floor originally had 3-light casement windows with timber lintels, except for a 20th-century half-dormer on the right side. Two hipped roof dormers and stone-coped gables with kneelers are present. A datestone inscribed “RD/1685” is incorporated into the rear left flue. The left gable end has 2-light chamfered stone mullion windows with hood moulds on the ground, first and attic floors. A lower, 19th-century, slate-roofed addition is attached to the right, featuring 20th-century windows and a back door.

An attached, pantile-covered wall extends between the garden and the street. A 19th-century school room wing is positioned to the rear right, built of rendered brick with a hipped slate roof. This wing features 12-pane horned sash windows on the first floor, and what was originally an open ground floor section with brick piers, now containing 20th-century glazing.

The interior includes stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered cambered bressumer, and a collar truss roof.
