Amhurst Hill Farmhouse

Amhurst Hill Farmhouse is a circa 1840 farmhouse, with minimal later modernisation. The ground floor is constructed of Flemish bond red brick, while the first floor is exposed timber-framing, with gables hung with bands of red and darker red tiles. Brick stacks feature tall ornamental chimneyshafts with divided octagonal shafts and star-shaped cornices. The roof is covered in peg tiles, along with regular crested ridge tiles.

The house follows an L-plan, facing northwest toward the lane. The main block has a three-room plan. A large axial stack between the centre and right rooms serves back-to-back fireplaces on two floors. The centre room was likely the kitchen, and the left room an unheated service room. An axial stack also serves the first floor chamber above. A front block projects at a right angle from the southwest end, containing the front doorway on the left side of the front end and a projecting outer lateral stack.

The property is two storeys high, with attic space within the roof. The exterior showcases an attractive Tudor Gothic style. The irregular front elevation has a 1:1 window arrangement. The first floor left window of the main block has a plain mullioned frame, possibly a replacement. Other windows are square-headed with timber frames, featuring hollow-chamfered mullions with trefoil-headed tops and transoms. A narrow trefoil-headed lancet window is above a timber plaque with a cusped quatrefoil panel within the gable end of the attic storey of the crosswing. The front doorway, located in the front end of the crosswing, has a solid timber frame with a Tudor arch, chamfered surround, sunken spandrels, and an original plank door. The main roof and front wing are gable-ended with plain bargeboards and apex pendants. Another gable is situated to the rear of the main block, slightly left of centre. Windows throughout the house are in a similar Gothic style. The first floor of the front crosswing, and similarly the northeast end of the main house, jetties forward, supported by shaped timber brackets. This jetty extends around the back to include the gabled section there.

The interior was not inspected during the survey, but original joinery and other detail is believed to be present.
