Description
The Chantry is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with a 19th-century extension at the rear. It is constructed of colourwashed brick with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys high and originally five bays wide. A three-course plinth runs along the base. The former central entrance has been replaced with a 20th-century casement window; otherwise, there are sash windows with glazing bars throughout, featuring ashlar cills, which are moulded on the first floor. The windows are topped with flat arches constructed of gauged brick and ashlar keystones. Chimneys are located at the ends of the building. A 19th-century entrance is now situated in the right gable end, with a six-panel door, an oblong fanlight with glazing bars, and a gable-ended hood. The gable ends exhibit tumbled-in brickwork. The rear extension primarily has sash windows with glazing bars, some with moulded bargeboards. The interior includes shutters on most windows. A 19th-century acanthus frieze is found in the left rear ground floor room.
