Rood Ashton House was a country house in Wiltshire, England, standing in parkland 0.5 miles northeast of the village of West Ashton, near Trowbridge. Built in 1808 for Richard Godolphin Long, it was later the home of the 1st Viscount Long .
Viscount Long's great grandfather Richard Godolphin Long commissioned architect Jeffry Wyattville to build the house in 1808, replacing an earlier mansion on the estate. It was redesigned and extended in 1836 by Thomas Hopper, who incorporated some panelling and other material brought from another Long family property, Whaddon House, which had been rescued from a fire there the previous year. Work was very slow, with an extension of the Billiard Room given as 1846 by the agent, H.E. Medlicott, and the re-building of the house not complete until the following year.
