Description

Ambry Court is a house that dates from the 15th or 16th century and was clad in the early 18th century. It is timber framed and covered with red brick, featuring a plain tiled roof. Originally designed as a hall house, it has additional service and chamber blocks at either end. The building has two storeys on a plinth, with a hipped roof and a projecting hip from the return wing on the left, as well as an oversailing hip from the return wing on the right. There is one flat dormer and a stack at the rear right, along with a large projecting 16th-century stack at the left end made of rubble, flint, and early brick, which has a moulded offset and an 18th-century brick chimney.

The fenestration is irregular, with one wooden casement window set low to the left, two glazing bar sash windows, and one double sash window on the first floor. The ground floor features four segmental-headed sashes with flying cornices. The entrance door is made of two panels and has a flat hood above it, located to the centre right. There is also a two-storey 20th-century canted bay window on the left.

On the left return, there is a plinth, a plat band, and a hipped roof with a gablet. Inside, there is a tall, slender crown post in the left return and an unmoulded crown post in the right return. The full frame of the building is visible, indicating that the three sections were constructed at different times. The interior includes moulded ceiling joists and beam stops, as well as 17th-century painted trompe l'oeil panels behind later pine panels in one room. A spiral staircase leads down to a cellar made of chalk block and flint chequer, featuring chamfered recesses and chamfered door jambs, which date back to at least the 16th century.
