Description
The Aumbry is a house built around 1830, constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high and features a double span hipped roof with a stack in the central valley. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows with segmental and gauged heads, and three more on the ground floor. The entrance door consists of six raised and fielded panels and is topped with a cornice hood, set within a pilaster surround at a left off-centre hipped porch. To the left, there is a mid-20th century flat-roofed extension that includes one segmental-headed glazing bar sash window on each floor. The right return of the house has two canted bay windows, and at the rear, there is a three-bay elliptical conservatory with a balustraded roof. The house occupies the site and possibly the foundations of a medieval parsonage and is included for its group value.
