Description
Amberley Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It features a later porch dated 1694 and underwent restoration with a rear extension built between 1931 and 1933, likely by Thomas Falconer for a Mr. Kitto. The building is constructed from roughcast limestone rubble, with smooth-rendered and ashlar quoins and dressings, and exposed rubble on the west gable. The roof is gabled and covered with stone slates, and it has been restored with ashlar stacks.
The farmhouse has a three-unit plan, which includes a heated right-hand parlour and an axial stack that heats the central room and the left-hand (west) room. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and features a two-window front. The windows are chamfered stone-mullioned, with up to four lights and label moulds on the ground floor. There are three hipped dormers from the 1931-3 restoration, which have stone slate cheeks and two-light leaded casements. The porch has a chamfered doorway and an oculus on its left-side wall.
The right (east) gable end has a 20th-century French window with a concrete lintel. Similar 17th-century mullioned windows are present on the sides and rear of the building, along with a small 20th-century rear extension built with similar materials. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have retained many 17th-century features, including chamfered beams with stops typical of the mid-17th century, open fireplaces with chamfered bressummers, a timber-framed first-floor partition, and a four-bay roof with pegged notch-lapped collars.
