Description
The Gables, located at 27 Amersham High Street, is a late 16th-century building that has been cement rendered and colourwashed. It features an old tiled roof adorned with two elaborate Dutch gables. The structure is two storeys high and includes two canted bays. The gables are connected by finials at the top and at each end, with each gable containing a two-light stone mullion lattice casement window. Each bay has, on both floors, a cement rendered mullion and transom four-light lattice casement window, which is topped by an entablature. The ground floor of the right-hand bay has been squared off with slight side extensions from the 18th century and contains a six-panel door, two of which are now glass, set in a panelled reveal, along with one double-hung sash window. Inside, the building features 16th and 17th-century panelling and a carved 17th-century overmantel.
