Description
Cantilupe Chantry South is a former house for priests serving the chantry, established in 1355 and extended in 1366. It was restored and remodelled around 1843-1845. The building is constructed of ashlar, with hipped and gabled slate and pantile roofs, featuring gable, ridge, and side wall stacks. The north gable has a coped gable with a finial, and the south side has a crenellated parapet.
The exterior is two storeys plus attics, with three bays. The east front has a late 19th-century traceried panelled door within a 14th-century stone surround, incorporating a hood mould and mask stops, which was originally from the north gable. To the door's left are two 2-light flat headed windows with ogee headed lights. Above are three similar windows. Dormers with 2-light pointed arched windows were added in the 19th century. The north gable features a hipped stone oriel window supported by 14th-century figured corbels, with 19th-century tracery. Shields displaying the arms of Cantilupe and Zouch are positioned on either side of the oriel. Above the oriel is a moulded niche containing a seated figure. The south side has a brick plinth and a truncated stack projecting from a corbelled base. To the left are three sash windows with glazing bars on each floor. To the right are two blocked lancet windows, and above, a 2-light window with a flat head and ogee headed lights.
The interior was remodelled in a Gothic style around 1845, with later 19th-century additions. The main rooms on each floor have flat headed doorcases with cusped pointed arched panels and quatrefoil paterae, and doors with two cusped pointed arched panels. Ground floor rooms have moulded plaster cornices and plain friezes. A study features a stone fireplace, and an adjoining dining room has a 19th-century Classical style wooden fireplace. The first-floor drawing room has a frieze of trefoils and pendants, a flat headed recess flanked by round columns with foliage capitals, and a 19th-century Classical style wooden fireplace. An adjoining bedroom has a similar frieze. The rear stairwell has an arch braced matchboarded roof with skylights, and a dogleg stair with square newels and turned balusters, dating from around 1870. The cellar beneath the south range contains a 14th-century spine beam carried on posts, and 19th-century wine bins at the east end.
