Description
Amberley House is a semi-detached house that likely dates from the 15th to 16th century, with alterations made in the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring an ashlar facade and a slate roof. There are rendered and 20th-century stone stacks at the rear, which originally were ashlar but have been replaced with brick and stone.
The main structure is rectangular, with a cross passage and a later extension at right angles to the rear. It has two storeys and an attic, which is illuminated by two 2-light roof dormers. The facade has three bays and two windows. The left-hand bay features sixteen-pane sash windows with horns, while the right-hand bay has twelve-pane sash windows, also with horns. There is a 19th-century six-panel door located off-centre to the right, with the upper two panels glazed. A boot scraper is positioned to the left of the door, and there is a moulded stone gutter and flat coping at the gable ends.
Inside, there is a stone pointed trefoil-headed door surround from the 15th to 16th century located at the rear, which may have been reused. The splayed openings of former windows that once lit the rear wall are still visible, although they are now blocked. The roof features an unusual construction with a spur from the wall post to a strut that supports the principal rafter.
