Description
Ashburne House is a high-quality Georgian townhouse that has been converted into offices. It is attached to buildings on both sides and features walls rendered with painted stucco. The double-pile slate roof is set behind a parapet with a cornice and has narrow end stacks. The building stands three storeys tall and has a five-window range of 12-pane sashes with narrow glazing bars in exposed frames, with the centre window being blind.
The central doorway is semi-circular headed, featuring a set-back panelled door and an arched fanlight with radial glazing. The stone door case is adorned with Ionic pilasters and a flat entablature that has a dentilled cornice. The platbands are painted in contrasting colours at the first and second floor levels, and there is a deep plinth that accommodates the slope of the site. The rear elevation of the building retains sash windows.
Inside, stairs rise at the rear of the central passage. The interior preserves some Georgian fittings, including doors, surrounds, reveals, shutters, wall cupboards, alcoves, and some plasterwork. Some beams are visible, and there is a room on the second floor that spans the entire frontage.
