Ashgrove House, Main Street, Methilhill

Ashgrove House is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house located on Main Street in Methilhill. The house features a block pedimented, pilastered doorcase and is constructed from dressed ashlar and rubble with stugged margins. It has an eaves course and a round-headed door.

The principal elevation on the southwest side is symmetrical, with a modern timber door set deep in the centre within a segmental-arched opening, flanked by fluted pilasters and a sunburst-astragalled fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor.

On the northeast elevation, there is a door in the centre bay, a window to the right, and a tiny opening to the outer right, with another window to the outer left. The first floor has three widely spaced windows and a tiny opening between the centre and right bays, along with three modern rooflights above.

The northwest and southeast elevations are largely blank, each featuring a small window in the gablehead. The house has out-of-character modern small-pane effect glazing in timber frames and is covered with graded grey slates. The gablehead stacks are broad and coped with ashlar, featuring a string course and thackstanes, while the rear has ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts.

An ancillary structure is present, which is a gabled, slated, rectangular-plan rubble building with garage openings on the southwest side. The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls with inset railings.
