Description
Tamehurst House is a house believed to have been built in 1803. It features painted and rendered brick with a hipped roof made of Welsh slate and deep eaves. There are one brick and one rendered lateral chimney stack. The house has a central staircase plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. The symmetrical east front includes a central round-arched doorway with a moulded and panelled surround, leading to a raised and fielded panelled door topped with a fanlight. A shallow timber porch with fretwork and a bracketed moulded cornice adds to the entrance. The late 20th-century casement windows have moulded rendered surrounds, with the ground floor surrounds featuring a rosette frieze and cornice, and the central window being narrower. The south elevation has two similar bays, while the west elevation mainly features 20th-century windows. Inside, the entrance hall has a panelled segmental arch that separates it from the staircase, which has an open string, stick balusters, and a wreathed handrail. There is a corresponding segmental arch leading to the first-floor landing, and the interior also includes panelled shutters, although most of the chimneypieces are replacements.
