Amerie House

Amerie House is a farmhouse, likely dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with significant alterations and a new front in the early 19th century, and further changes in later periods. The front range is stuccoed with rustication to the ground floor and scored lines above. The rear range is constructed of painted stone, brick, and timber framing, with some areas pebble-dashed. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, with some older tiles visible on the rear. Brick end-stacks are present.

The house has two storeys and a cellar, and comprises a three-window front range with an earlier rear range set at a right angle, and that range extended further to the rear. Features include a moulded eaves cornice, a first-floor plat band, a chamfered plinth, rusticated quoins, and brick-dentilled eaves to the returns. Replacement windows are in place, generally consisting of four lights on the ground floor and three lights on the first floor, all with roughly-moulded channelled voussoirs, keystones, and painted sills. A similar head is present above the cellar opening on the left. A central porch has a heavy cornice and a round-arched doorway leading to a doorcase with panelled reveals, a three-pane overlight, and a six-panel part-glazed door.

The rear of the house has two timber-framed and brick gables. One gable has unrenewed six-pane windows with opening casements. The earlier range, set at a right angle, has an altered roof pitch.

The interior of the front range features doorcases and shutters with panelled reveals, six-panel doors, a dado rail, a grey marble fireplace, and a curved brick wall in the hall/cellar. The earlier range retains a chimney and some timber framing, including a former rear wall where window mullions have been incorporated into a later extension.

Amerie House is one of three original farmhouses in Pershore and was formerly owned by recusants. In the 18th century, it had connections to Joseph Haydn.
