Ashmoor And The Homestead

Ashmoor and The Homestead are two houses built in the late 18th to early 19th century for the Duke of Northumberland. They are constructed from ashlar sandstone and feature a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves. The buildings have an L-shaped plan, with a rear range to the right and a rear outshut. They are two storeys tall and consist of three bays.

The first and second bays, known as The Homestead, have a central door made up of six flush panels, set in a raised ashlar surround with splayed bases. The sash windows, which include glazing bars, are also framed in raised ashlar surrounds. A cornice runs along the top, and there is a shaped kneeler and ashlar coping on the left side, with the roof hipped to the right. There are corniced brick stacks at the left end and a double stack between the second and third bays. The right return, known as Ashmoor, is made of ashlar and matches the front elevation with three bays. The Homestead, which has a door facing The Village, was used as an estate office for the Duke of Northumberland.
