Amington House

Amington House is a house, later converted into flats, dating from around 1770, with an addition at the rear from the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of brick, with a tile roof and brick end stacks. It follows a central-staircase plan with two wings at the rear. The main façade is three storeys high and symmetrical, with a three-window arrangement. A brick cornice runs along the top. The centrally positioned entrance features a doorcase with reeded pilasters, a triglyph entablature, and an open pediment. The entrance door is of six fielded panels, set within similar reveals, and topped with a fanlight containing decorative glazing bars. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches above sashes, some with 16 panes, one central first-floor window has a 12-pane sash, and the second floor has sashes with eight panes, flanking a six-pane sash. The side returns have varied window arrangements; the left return has a single window with paired round-headed eight-pane sashes on the ground floor, while the right return is shorter with segmental-headed windows. A single-storey brick outhouse runs along the rear. Inside, a dog-leg staircase has stick balusters and a wreathed handrail.
