Chadshunt Hall

Chadshunt Hall is a country house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century and again in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. The main part of the house is built of red brick in Flemish bond, with rusticated stone quoins; the front and garden elevations are stuccoed. A mid-19th century service wing is of yellow brick, whitewashed to the front. The roofs are slate, with deep eaves and brick ridge, external, and internal stacks. Originally designed with a U-plan and rear wings, it was later extended to an F-plan.

The principal facade has seven bays, with a further six bays forming the service wing to the right. The symmetrical entrance front features a 20th-century panelled door within an early 18th-century doorcase, which has a bolection moulded architrave with triple keyblocks, a narrow sunk panel outer architrave with consoles, and a segmental pediment containing a cartouche. Segmental arched sash windows are located in the third and fifth bays. The sixth and seventh bays feature a large, late 19th/early 20th century canted bay with a moulded cornice. All windows have 4-pane sashes and fixed-light windows, with keyblocks to all except the canted bay. An eaves line forms a simple broken pediment above the central bay. The service wing has 12- and 16-pane sashes, with rendered lintels and keyblocks. A symmetrical five-bay front is found to the left return side, with a central half-glazed, four-panelled door and overlight, approached by steps. Four-pane sashes are present throughout, and each opening has keyblocks. A 19th/20th century conservatory, rendered to imitate ashlar, is attached to the left, containing French windows with fanlights and a flat roof with a parapet.

The rear of the house features two-bay wings. The left wing includes 12-pane sashes and aprons above the first-floor windows. The right wing is colourwashed, with the ground floor obscured by a conservatory, and has 4-pane sashes. Openings in this wing are framed by gauged brick flat arches with keystones. Centrally is a very large, early 20th-century stone mullioned staircase window, composed of two cross windows and a central five-light window with two transoms, with a smaller two-light mullioned window below. The wings have hipped roofs. An irregular service wing is attached to the left.

The interior features a staircase hall and a former dining room with a bolection moulded fireplace and a floating cornice; the staircase hall was remodelled in the early 20th century. It has Ionic pilasters. Six-panelled doors with eared architraves, likely dating from the 18th century, are present. The early 20th-century staircase has a straight flight and a gallery with twisted balusters. A cloakroom contains a large number of Delft tiles.
