Amberley Court

Amberley Court is a hall house that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the early 14th century, with the hall being horizontally divided in the 16th century and later cased in the 18th century. The building features sandstone rubble plinths and a rubble-cased hall range, with a timber frame that includes wattle-and-daub and brick infill, topped with plain tiled roofs. There are external stacks located on the north-west side of the hall range, at the north-west end of the solar wing, and on the south-west side of the solar wing.

The structure is designed in an H-plan, consisting of a two-and-a-half storey hall range aligned north-west to south-east, accompanied by a three-bay service wing to the north-west and a matching three-bay solar wing to the south-east. The hall is now one storey with an attic, while the cross-wings are two storeys high.

On the south-west elevation, there are four windows: the gable end of the service wing on the left has one mid-19th century casement window on the ground floor; the hall range features evenly spaced late 20th century casements, with two on the ground floor under segmental heads and one in each of the two gables; the solar wing includes a two-light 19th century casement on the ground floor and a two-light mid-20th century casement on the first floor. There are two entrances on either side of the hall range: one is in a late 20th century glazed porch, and the other is a 20th century ledge door beneath a plain tiled hood.

Inside, only part of the spere-truss and some foiled roof trusses were visible during the last survey in October 1984. Amberley Court is considered an exceptionally important example of a hall house. Nearby, about 10 yards to the south-west, there is a 12th or 13th century stone cylindrical font bowl without decoration, which was removed from Amberley Chapel. Additionally, 20 yards to the south-east, there is a gabled sandstone finial, likely from the 14th century, featuring trefoiled heads on each of its three faces, possibly also taken from Amberley Chapel during its restoration in 1865.
