Ashdale House

Ashdale House is an 18th-century Georgian-style house that was altered in the early 20th century. It is constructed of roughcast rubble stone and features a renewed slate close-eaved roof with brick end stacks. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical front that includes five windows and three slate-hung hipped dormers, each fitted with 6-pane sash windows. The main floors have 8-pane horned sash windows in their original openings, with the ground floor windows being longer. Most windows have slate sills, except for the window to the right of centre, which was previously a doorway. The entrance door is a 6-panel design with lattice tracery in the overlight, set within a mid-18th-century wooden doorcase that features Ionic half-columns, entablature sections with pulvinated friezes, and an overall dentil cornice.

At the rear, there are 1970s windows in the outshut, along with a stair window that has 12-pane sashes. A tall narrow gabled section was added to the left in the 1970s, and there is a flat-roofed projection with a modern door set back in the left-hand end wall.

Inside, the interior is mostly from the 1970s, but there is a notable dog-leg stair with column newels, scrolled tread ends, and turned column balusters, three per tread, along with a moulded rail. The attic contains five 18th-century oak collar trusses. Although the rear is said to have been reduced from a range of similar height to the front range, there is some old plaster on the sloping underside of the roof at the first-floor rear that suggests part of it was originally an outshut. The main stair appears to have had two additional flights leading up to the attic, which would have required a taller rear range, as indicated by marks of a removed third flight on the first-floor landing. The stairs to the attic are now located in the 20th-century rear corner section. The first-floor landing features two fielded panelled doors and one door with bordered panels.
