Description
Hammerton House is a house that likely dates from the 17th century or early 18th century, with remodelling in the mid-19th century and further alterations later on. It is constructed from coursed, squared, and dressed rubble and features a stone slate roof with crenellated brick end stacks. The building is two stories high and has a three-window front. There is a slight gabled projection inset from the left end, which has a verge parapet topped with a fleur-de-lys.
On the first floor, there is a labelled three-light casement window above a raised string at the cill level, along with a rectangular, flat-roofed three-light bay window. To the right, there is a similar two-light bay window and a plain three-light casement window above on the first floor. The central window is a round arch with two lights, featuring a raised surround that is simply moulded at the imposts and keystone. Above a bracketted cill, there is a Tudor-arched doorway with six Gothick panels. The house was formerly used as an inn, and at the rear, there is a brew-house with a picturesque rounded corner located at the north-west corner. An extension to the left, known as Hammerton Cottage, is not included in this listing.
