Description
The Merchant House and an attached building at the rear are located in Chilvers Coton and date from the early to mid-19th century. The structure is built of Flemish bond brick and features a string course and a dentil cornice. It has an old plain-tile roof with a rebuilt stack at the right end. The building is arranged in a T-plan, with a wing and an attached building at the rear. It stands two storeys tall and has a three-window range.
The symmetrical front of the house includes a flush six-panelled door, which was formerly part-glazed, set beneath a stone flat arch with a keystone. The windows are two-light iron casements with patterned glazing and brick flat arches. The rear range has two altered windows on the ground floor to the right, with a 20th-century casement window above. The remainder of the building features three round-arched iron windows and a blocked door on the first floor, while the ground floor is obscured by later additions.
This house and the attached workshop were part of the Chilvers Coton Foundry, which specialized in brass and iron in the late 19th century, and later became the Midland Sheet Metal Works in the 20th century. The property was restored for housing in 2005. The interiors have not been inspected.
