Military House

Military House is a detached house, now used as an office, built in 1826 and altered in the 20th century. It is designed in the style of Thomas Harrison and was likely intended for officers associated with the Chester Regiment buildings on Castle Square. The building is constructed of Flemish bond red brick and features a hipped grey slate roof, with the main ridge running parallel to the front.

The exterior is symmetrical and consists of two storeys. It has a stone plinth and an added brick porch with four steps leading up to double doors made of two fielded panels, which are topped with a wedge lintel and a frieze, with pediments that stand proud of the parapet. On either side of the porch, there are two double-square 12-pane recessed sash windows, each with yellow sandstone sills and wedge lintels. The second storey has a sill band and five slightly shorter recessed 12-pane sashes, also with stone wedge lintels. The building features lead rainwater pipes and heads inscribed with "GR 1826", a stone frieze, a cornice, and a one-course parapet. There are two chimneys symmetrically placed on the ridge.

The plinth, sill band, frieze, cornice, and parapet continue around the sides and back of the house. The east side has two 12-pane sashes in the front room, along with two blocked openings in the rear room and three blocked openings on the second storey. It also has a lead head and pipe inscribed "GR 1826". The west side features a 12-pane sash in each storey before an added wing, along with an inscribed lead head and pipe. The rear has two sashes on each side of the rear wing and a rainwater head and pipe inscribed "GR 1828".

Inside, there is a straight stair with two flights, featuring a turned newel, closed string, stick balusters, and a swept rail. The rooms may have original fluted coved cornices, although they have been repaired, and most other interior features have been replaced.
