Chain House

This is a late 18th-century house, likely refronting an earlier building. It is colourwashed and rendered, possibly over timber framing. The roof is of clay tiles, hipped in form. The house is arranged in an L-shape. It has two storeys. The windows are a mix of sash windows with glazing bars. There are three windows to the ground floor and five to the first floor. A room on the right-hand side has 19th-century tripartite sash windows. A first-floor window above the front door is also 19th-century. The remaining windows are earlier, with small panes and broader proportions, and have moulded frames. The doorway between the two right-hand bays has a six-panel door topped by a rectangular fanlight with ornamental ironwork. Slender reeded half-columns support a simple entablature and flat hood. A carriageway is located on the left-hand side, with a moulded timber surround. A timber dentil cornice runs along the eaves.
