Description
Ashfield is a Regency two-storey house featuring stucco, with partly scribed fronts and slate roofs. It has wide bracketed and panelled eaves and three cement rendered chimney stacks. The main front has three windows, with the right-hand bay set back and a recessed door beyond. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has 20-pane sash windows with cills positioned just above ground level. To the left of the main front, there is a flat-roofed verandah with a boarded ceiling, supported by cast iron cylindrically grouped uprights, although some are missing. The verandah returns to the gable-ended entrance front, which features a 12-pane sash window above a six-panel door with a moulded architrave and panelled reveals, including some panels designed to imitate bamboo. There is also a five-pane fanlight above the door.
The rear of the house is roughcast and includes a segmental headed window for the staircase. There is a slate roof cross range to the right rear, which has sash windows.
Inside, the house retains a contemporary staircase with moulded tread-ends and scroll-ended newel posts.
