Castle Ashby House
Castle Ashby (often called Castle Ashby House) is an Elizabethan prodigy country house in Northamptonshire that remains a family seat and Grade I listed building. The present building was largely formed from a 16th–17th century rebuilding and retains a formal, symmetrical front overlooking lawns and parkland.

As it stood in 1605
The shape it held in its prime.
A broad, symmetrical E‑shaped limestone country house three storeys high with a deep central porch and flight of steps forming the middle stroke of the E. Two projecting lateral blocks flank the central range, each accented by a cylindrical tower rising one storey above the parapet; regular rows of mullioned and transomed windows puncture the ashlar façade. A low roofline with multiple chimneystacks and a pediment above the central entrance faces out onto extensive lawns and a gravel forecourt.
