Description

Ashfield House is a late Georgian villa that has been converted into apartments. The building features a plan of twin two-storey gabled ranges, along with a later, smaller gabled range on the south side. The walls are colourwashed and rendered, with roughcast on the south side, and the roofs are slate with linked pairs of chamfered rendered brick stacks and shaped bargeboards topped with finials.

On the rear side, there are four 12-pane Gothick sash windows overlooking the yard, which includes single-storey extensions that reach the boundary wall, previously the site of kennels. The other fronts display wide diamond-pane glazing in the sashes. The entrance front has a three-window range on the first floor, featuring a central cross-gable above a triangular-headed sash window with a hoodmould and diamond glazing. The outer bays have broad surrounds to similar windows. There is a central porch with a parapet.

The garden front is asymmetrical, showcasing four windows beneath three gables, with diamond-pane sashes set under ramped hoodmoulds, and tripartite windows in the left bay and on the ground floor. Attached to the right is a rear courtyard wall that includes a pointed arched doorway. The interior has been substantially remodelled to accommodate the apartments.
