Description
Ashbrook House is a symmetrical Georgian building from the late 18th century, featuring two storeys and a three-window roughcast front. It has an undulating slate roof that is hipped to the left, with bracket eaves and brick chimney stacks. The house likely once had an adjoining building to the right. The front includes recessed 12-pane sash windows with horns on the ground floor, and a fine central doorcase that has a bracket hood, panelled reveals, a six-panel door, and a semicircular traceried fanlight.
On the left end, there is a three-storey section with an attic skylight. The second floor is roughcast over rubble lower floors, with horned sashes above modern windows. The right gable end features casement windows, and there is a rubble and corrugated lean-to at the rear.
