Hinton Ampner House

Hinton Ampner House is a medium-sized country house built around 1790, with significant rebuilding in 1875 and further alterations in 1937 by Trenwith Wells and Lord Wellesley for Ralph Dutton, now Lord Sherbourne. The house is constructed of brick with blue headers and features a plain tile roof. It has a main block that measures 9 bays by 5 bays, with service ranges on the right end. The building is two stories high, with an attic and cellars, and has a central section with three wide bays that slightly project, flanked by side bays. Stone quoins are present at all angles.

The entrance features a central six-panel double door set within a stone pilastered doorcase topped with an open pediment that contains an armorial cartouche. This is located in a projecting porch with stone quoins. Above the door is a Venetian window with a rubbed brick head and keystone. Other windows are 12-pane sashes, and there are string courses at both the first floor and eaves. The brick parapet has stone coping and urns at the corners. The central part of the house has two-light dormers with flat roofs, while the hipped two-span roof has symmetrical stacks located behind the ridge on either side of the central bays.

The interior was badly damaged by fire in 1960, but some features survived, including an Adam ceiling in the dining room (originally from Berkeley Square) and three circa 1800 chimney pieces in the drawing room and library.
