Description
Chawner Cottages, built in 1860, were formerly almshouses. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a shaped tile roof with plain tile bands and coped verges on shaped kneelers, along with brick ridge stacks. It is one storey high with an attic and has three bays, with a central gabled break. The windows are latticed casements with straight hood moulds. The central gabled porch has a segmental pointed arch and a returned hood mould, with an inscription above that reads: "MARCHINGTON / ALMS HOUSES / BUILT A.D. 1860." There are doors to the left and right of the porch, each with segmental pointed heads and hood moulds that step over blind shields. A low coped wall encloses a garden in front and on the sides. The cottages were built for the Chawners of Houndhill Farmhouse and are part of a picturesque group of buildings that includes Marchington Hall.
