Barrymore and Amersfoert

Barrymore and Amersfoert is a large house that has been divided into two residences. It dates from the late 15th century, with extensions and alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The central part of the building is timber framed, while the remainder is constructed of brick and roughcast, featuring brick strings and hoodmoulds. The house has a part brick gabled parapet and an old tile roof, which is a mix of gabled and hipped sections at varying heights. It is topped with large 17th-century chimneys that have diagonal shafts on square bases and offset heads, some of which have been partly rebuilt.

The building has an H-plan layout, with a timber-framed rectangular projection on the north side, which was likely originally a byre. It consists of five framed bays and two crosswings, each containing two framed bays. The structure is partly two storeys tall, with some areas featuring attics.

On the entrance front, there is a projecting gabled wing on the left side, which is faced in brick and has strings at the floor levels. This wing features a single attic sash window and two bays of sash windows on the lower floors, all with glazing bars. To the left of this wing is a 19th-century extension made of brick and pebble dash. The central part of the entrance front has two small upper casements, while the ground floor is obscured by a 20th-century painted brick lean-to roof with a porch in the centre. There is also a small one-bay brick gable on the right.

On the river front, there is a projecting wing to the left with irregular windows, including some 19th-century upper leaded casements. To the right of this wing, the main part of the building has two irregular bays, with a tall gabled bay that has a hipped old tile roof and 19th-century sash windows, along with a tripartite sash window in the attic above. Further to the right, there is a 19th-century extension made of painted brick, which is two storeys tall with an attic and features a 19th-century angular bay that extends the full height of the building.

Inside, much of the timber frame is exposed, showcasing fine jowl posts and braces. The remaining newels of a 16th-century staircase can be found in the west crosswing.
