Cautherly

Cautherly is an early 18th-century house that was likely built as a stable block for the nearby mansion, formerly known as Ware Hill House and now called Great Amwell House. The building features red brick construction, a plaster eaves cornice, and a moulded pediment, topped with a gabled slate roof. It is a small, formal, symmetrical block with two stories and a decorative pedimented east gable facing the road. The triangular pediment includes a gauged brick bullseye window, and there is a Palladian motif with a wide round-headed central panel flanked by square-headed sunk panels. A dado band and plinth break back in the panels, and there are windows at two levels in the central panel. The long north side has a wide central projection with a two-light leaded casement window under the eaves, and similar three-light windows are located to the right and left. There is also a two-story flat-roofed extension on the south side with a present entrance that is not of special interest. Cautherly forms a group with Great Amwell House.
