Chancery Chambers

Chancery Chambers is a warehouse that has been converted into offices, built in the mid to late 19th century and altered since. It features a combination of sandstone ashlar and red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings. The building has a trapezoidal plan and is designed in the Italian palazzo style. It consists of a basement and five storeys, which diminish in height. The façade has a 4:1:6-window arrangement, with a channelled rusticated ashlar ground floor, rusticated quoins, and sill-bands above. A prominent modillioned cornice crowns the structure. There is a wide segmental-headed archway in the fifth bay, which now has an inserted doorway, and tripartite windows on all floors above this, all except the topmost having pedimented surrounds. Most windows are segmental-headed, except for those on the top floor, which are square. All windows have moulded architraves, with keystones on the ground and first floors, and are sashed without glazing bars, except for those in the basement. The left (north) return wall is in English garden wall bond and features similar fenestration. The interior has not been inspected.
