Cheslyn

This is a late 19th-century house located on the south side of Whitecross Road, Hereford. The house is built of brick with a Welsh slate roof and brick end stacks topped with caps. It is two storeys high with a cellar, and has a three-window front. The central feature is a stained-glass French window leading to a balcony, flanked by stone canted bay windows with plain sashes. The deep eaves are supported by cast-iron brackets. A central entrance has a part-glazed panelled door and plain overlight, sheltered by a stone hood on scrolled consoles and moulded pilasters, flanked by matching bays. Stucco quoins are visible, and there is an ornate cast-iron screen and balcony. A returned side features a cellar door and a small projecting wing with a leaded casement under a semicircular brick arch, above plank double doors. A rear wing, possibly added later, has a raised stack with two caps.

The interior includes a late 19th-century dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a moulded rail. On the first floor, one casement window features stained glass depicting the Twelve Apostles; there is a 19th-century hobgrate with a wooden surround, a wall cupboard, picture rails, ceiling mouldings, architraves to windows, and four-panel doors with architraves. The interior also has two 19th-century tiled fireplaces with wooden surrounds, a conservatory with a polychrome tiled floor, and a round-headed cast-iron window. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century tiled fireplace with a later wooden surround and overmantel, a polychrome tiled floor to the hall, early 20th-century double doors with coloured glazing, ceiling mouldings, a 19th-century cast-iron stove in a cast-iron fireplace with a wooden surround, four-panel doors, a kitchen dresser, and a tiled floor.
