Amroth Castle

Amroth Castle is a large, L-shaped house dating back to the 18th century, with a main façade facing west. A rear wing extends from the north side, and later additions have filled the angle between the two sections. The grounds surrounding the castle include walled gardens and orchards to the east and south, and former farm buildings to the north, now used as a caravan park.

The west front of the house is three stories high and features a full-height, projecting porch in the centre. The façade is rendered with scored lines designed to mimic stonework and decorative arches. Horizontal platbands are present at the first and second floor levels, and at the base of the crenellated parapet concealing the slate roof. The porch is also crenellated, with a Tudor arch of two chamfers framed in light-coloured sandstone, featuring outbands on either side. While the upper two stories of the porch are likely from the 19th century, three projecting corbels at first floor level suggest a possible earlier oriel window or first-floor entrance. The main elevation has sash windows with exposed frames, generally featuring a 2:1 proportion and some still containing 12 panes of handmade glass.

An archway in a yard wall provides access to the north side, and above it is a bracket originally supporting the owner’s arms, now featuring an angel supporter. This side is generally plain and crenellated, with a slightly projecting section and replaced sash windows. The east (rear) elevation is also crenellated and has been extensively repaired, with sash windows except for a servant's stairs window, which is in a Gothic style. The south side is a narrow elevation with a crenellated parapet and a two-story bay window, itself also crenellated.

Attached to the north side, above service quarters, is a chapel, accessed via an external staircase. It includes an anteroom on its north side. Little of the chapel's interior remains, beyond a damaged stained glass lancet window on the east side and a decorated-style window on the west. Tudor-style hoodmoulds are visible above the windows of the anteroom and those of the basement service rooms.

Inside, the entrance leads to a corridor, with a vaulted room to the right. A main staircase of three flights ascends around a stairwell, featuring large close strings and large square newels, all painted white. A Gothick fireplace is located in a reception room to the left of the entrance (now a bar), and a Trafalgar commemorative plaque is set into the ceiling of the dining room.
