Chesterfield House Shagbag Coltings And Stable Range

Chesterfield House, Shagbag House, Coltings, and the stable range are three houses and outbuildings that were formerly one house with a stable range. They date from the mid 18th century and have mid 19th-century alterations. Chesterfield House is two storeys with attics and features three windows. It is constructed of rendered brick with corner pilasters, a moulded cornice, and parapets. There is a parapet gable facing Sackville Street. The roof is plaintiled, with flat lead-roofed dormers that have sash windows. The rear chimneys are of red brick and date from the 18th century. The first-floor sash windows were replaced in the mid 19th century with larger panes, and one window has been blocked. At the ground floor, there are a pair of mid 19th-century splayed bays with sash windows and flat roofs. The late 18th-century entrance doorway features a modillion cornice and fluted pilasters, along with an oblong fanlight that has decorative glazing bars and a 19th-century four-panelled door. The second floor retains a section of mid 18th-century staircase balustrading, while the balustrading on the first floor was replaced in the early 19th century. The floor structure over the cellar is made from late 16th-century oak members, possibly from an earlier house on the site. The stable range, built in the early 19th century, encloses a courtyard at the rear of Chesterfield House. In the 20th century, part of it was converted into two dwellings that are two storeys high, constructed of painted brick, with a mix of concrete tiled and slated roofs, and featuring 20th-century small-pane sash windows and entrance doors. The remaining stable range is also two storeys, made of red brick, with a combination of slated and asbestos sheeted roofing. The stable doorways within the courtyard still have some boarded 19th-century doors with fanlights under segmental arched heads, along with various 19th-century casements.
