Description
Ashley House is a house dating from the 17th century, with an ornamental lead downpipe dated 1728 and early 19th century alterations. It features a painted sundial dated 1826 in the center of the frontage. The building is constructed of random rubble with a slate roof, and has two gabled dormers with coped verges, as well as coped verges on the end gables and end brick ridge stacks.
The house is two storeys and an attic high, with two bays. On the first floor, there are three-light hollow-moulded stone-mullioned windows beneath stopped labels. The attic has similar two-light stone-mullioned casements, also under stopped labels. The ground floor features three large sash windows set in architraves. To the right of the building, there is a door opening with an architrave and a moulded cornice above, leading to a 18th century six-panelled door.
To the right, there is a gabled two-storey outshut with a ridge at right angles to the main frontage, which has a coped verge. This outshut includes a single three-light moulded stone-mullioned window under a stopped label on the first floor, and two large sash windows in architraves on the ground floor. The right return has three bays with two-light casements and a pantile roof.
