He is obviously older than Scarlett and Melanie who are 16 and 17 respectively at the beginning of the story which from what I can tell begins onf April 15th, 1861. His sister India is 20 at the beginning and Ashley has already spent three years on his Grand tour in Europe, and he has already been home for 2 years. Most likely he had spent 4 years at a university, which he most likely started at, at the age of 16. So that would probably put him at 24 or 25 at the beginning. I just went back through the novel to see if there were any other indicators of Ashley's age and I could find none. But I fairly certain that the age of 24 or 25 is a safe guess. TO be fair at the beinning he was in his mid twenties. By the end of the novel, which by my research end somewhere in the latter hald of 1873, he would have been about 37 or 38. His birthday coincides with the Barbeque at Twelve Oaks right before they hear that they are going to war on April 16th.
