Oakhurst House

Oakhurst House is a derelict building in Shining Cliff Woods above the village of Ambergate in Derbyshire.

It was occupied by the Johnson family of industrialists for many years who were benefactors in the local area, building the parish church of St. Anne at Ambergate.

Originally a forge house, it was leased by the Hurts to the Iron Master Charles Mold, who died there in 1846.

The house is described as a "fair-sized country mansion" with "accommodation for twenty four" and a "large room being converted to a comely chapel".

[6] An application for statutory listing of the building was refused and after a period of marketing, in 1994 permission was granted to demolish the house.
