Description

1 and 2 Chaters Hill are two semi-detached houses built in the early 19th century, with later 19th and 20th century ground floor additions. They are constructed of gault brick and feature a slate roof, forming a U shape that includes the additions. The houses are two storeys tall and have basements.

The west front elevation shows that No. 2 has cast-iron railings with spearheads from the 19th century. The first floor has a range of four windows, while the ground floor has three windows, with the center window blocked and the outer sections serving as front doorways. All windows are sashes with glazing bars, featuring three panes by four panes, and some retain old glass. The doorways are recessed and have semicircular over-lights. The doors consist of six moulded recessed panels, and there are boot scrapers on the steps leading up to them. The basements are lit by segment-headed sash windows with five panes by four panes, which have cover grilles. A stucco string course runs between the floors, and the hipped roof has broad eaves and a central stack.

At the north end, No. 1 features a slated lean-to, which is secondary but similar in brickwork and has a single segment-headed sash window. The rear east elevation has a similar four-window range to the front, but the outer first-floor windows are deeper, with three panes by six panes. There is a second stack that rises through the roof pitch. The ground floor additions include a lean-to at No. 1 with a fully glazed 20th-century door and an adjacent single-light casement window, along with a similar window on the south face. No. 2 has a gabled addition with a 20th-century two-light casement window featuring two panes by four panes, and an adjacent south face with a 20th-century door that has upper glazing with three panes by three panes and two lower panels. A small 20th-century single-light casement window is set into the house wall to the south, and there are two three-pane by four-pane sash windows between the 20th-century additions.

The south end elevation is plain, except for a pair of large recessed panels in the brickwork and a small 20th-century first-floor casement window. The north end elevation has similar recessed panels as the south end, but is partly covered by a 19th-century lean-to with a slate and now corrugated iron roof. This lean-to meets a garden wall that faces the street, which is made of flint cobble, although the west end has been rebuilt in gault brick. A 19th-century flush panelled doorway has been inserted with a gault brick surround.

Inside, the interiors are plain, but No. 2 still retains a marble chimney piece in the ground floor front room.
