Description
Amhurst is a house and stables, now a pair of attached houses, dated 1737 by the owner and refronted in the late 19th century. The building features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, brick external and gable stacks, and a pantile hipped roof. It has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. The cornice and moulded parapet coping ramp up in the middle.
The left-of-centre doorway has a Gibbs surround with thin consoles supporting a pediment, an architrave with a split key, an overlight with four pointed-arched panes, and a six-panel door with raised upper panels. The late 19th-century stone windows are ovolo-moulded, including a three-light mullion and transom window to the left, a three-light mullion window in the middle, and former stables at the right end with a doorway and a small left-hand window. There are three first-floor mullion windows with plate-glass sashes. An 18th-century external stack is located at the left end, with 19th-century gable stacks behind.
Inside, there is a flagged entrance hall leading to a rear dogleg stair with turned balusters.
