Description
Chelmshoe House is an early 18th-century house constructed of red brick with a hipped red plain tiled roof. It features two symmetrically placed red brick chimney stacks and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The building has two storeys and a five-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes, each topped with gauged brick arches. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled door with small paned glazing in the top panels, framed by an original wooden rusticated architrave frieze and pediment. Inside, the house is said to contain original marble fireplaces, partly panelled rooms, and four doors made of 17th-century panelling, along with a well staircase and plastered ceilings.
