Description
Chase House is an 18th-century house that was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The main section of the house faces southeast and features two rear stacks that are symmetrically arranged. There are two rear wings and a narrow wing between them, creating a rectangular layout. A 20th-century single-storey extension with a hipped roof is located at the rear right.
The house is two storeys tall and has a five-window range of late 19th-century sash windows with marginal lights, set in original openings with flat arches made of gauged brick. The central entrance features a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, flanked by plaster pilasters and a projecting false keystone, topped with a moulded flat canopy. A plain band runs along the first-floor level, and there is a moulded eaves cornice beneath the hipped roof. The overall elevation is symmetrical.
Wrought and cast iron railings are attached to the house at both ends, mounted on a dwarf wall of red brick in Flemish bond, which forms the boundary with the street and includes a central gate. The railings feature simple spearpoints, four round cast iron stanchions with finials at the front, and one at each end. The gate is made entirely of wrought iron and has an arched stay at the bottom, standing approximately one metre tall.
On the left return of the house, there is a blocked doorway with no other openings. The rear elevation includes two early 19th-century sash windows with 12 lights on the ground floor, and on the first floor, there are two similar sashes, two additional 18th-century sashes, and a central Venetian sash, all featuring crown glass.
