Malvern Cottage Range Ashton Summerhouse
The Ashton summerhouse is the picture of the traditionally designed timeless English summerhouse. This pretty and versatile garden room can be used for many different activities, simply a room to relax and unwind, entertain and dine or even a room to work from.
The Ashton summerhouse is available in twelve different sizes. The external walls, roof, windows and doors are all made from premium clear grade Western Red Cedar. The warm and stable Cedar contains its own oils and preservatives making it a naturally durable and rot-resistant species of timber, perfect for a garden summerhouse.
Window and door options are either Georgian or leaded style, single or double glazed. There are a set of double locking doors to the front with a fixed window each side - 10ft wide and larger models have two fixed windows either side of the doors. There are two opening windows in each side section of the Ashton, extra windows can be added if required.

Photo Gallery
New Roof style from 2009
This picture shows a 12 x 8 double glazed Ashton in Moss Green with our new style roof shingles which became standard on all models in the Ashton range in 2009. The cedar roof shingles are now pressure treated and used on the eaves as well as on the roof. They retain their colour for longer and need little or no maintenance. The coloured bargeboards pictured on many of the buildings below are still available if you prefer them, but our display and production models now show the eaves style demonstrated in this photograph.
Please note the square topped windows which are a characteristic of double glazed models in the Ashton range.
Single Glazed Window Styles
These are the three window options available : Diamond Lead, Square Lead or Georgian style. Single glazed windows have arched tops as photographed.

These are the two options available for leaded windows. The window tops are square in shape unlike the arch topped single glazed windows. Georgian double glazed windows are also available which are square topped too.
Double Glazed Georgian windows
