Description
Ashley House is a large Tudoresque townhouse situated among smaller cottages. The exterior is rendered and painted, featuring contrasting raised rendered dressings. It has a slate roof with overhanging bracketed eaves, decorative gables, dormers, and apex finials. The building is L-shaped, with a projecting gable end facade on the right and a two-bay wing on the left that aligns with number 30. At the angle, there is a porch with heavy antae, an entablature with billet moulding, and a small gable.
The house has three storeys, and the glazing is mostly composed of two-pane sashes. The right gable end facade is predominantly occupied by windows, including a small tripartite gabled attic bay that rests on the pitched roof of a first-floor bay featuring a very deep entablature with a diamond frieze. There is a wide four-light ground floor window with a Gibbs surround and raised, staggered quoins. To the left, the set-back two-window range includes two gabled full dormers with casements on either side of a central gable that has decorative applied timbering at the apex. This is positioned above the main two-light first floor window, with a single light above the porch, and directly above a wide canted ground floor bay window with six lights.
