The Chantry

The Chantry is a house dating from the early 19th century, with an older core. It has two storeys and an irregular form. The main range is constructed of brick, featuring a band but is rendered and colour-washed, topped with 20th-century plain tiles. The front of the house includes two short projecting wings, adorned with mid-19th century bargeboards that have foliage designs in relief on the gable ends. The windows are small-paned sash types set in deep reveals; the right cross-wing features a long tripartite small-paned sash window with a rounded head, and there are Romanesque slit-windows in the apex of each gable.

The entrance is centrally located between the two wings, accessed through a high portico supported by paired Tuscan columns with enriched necking on the capitals. The door is half-glazed and framed with a moulded surround. To the right of the front, there is an added section that matches the style and materials of the main house but has a slightly lower roofline.

On the south (garden) front, there is a projecting gable in the centre with a canted two-storey bay that has three windows on each storey. This front also features six additional small-paned sash windows in deep reveals, with bargeboards that match those on the front of the house.

At the west end of the range, an earlier building has been linked to the main house. This structure is two storeys tall and has an L-shaped form, consisting of a main range and a cross-wing. It is timber-framed and rendered, with plaintiled roofs. The cross-wing jetties along the front and side, supported by a plain corner post. The early 19th-century bargeboards here have traceried mouchettes and a spike finial. Inside, there is a chimney stack in the main range, with a rebuilt shaft positioned below the roof ridge. The windows in this section are small-paned sash types in flush frames. To the north of this older building, there is a 20th-century range of extensions and outbuildings, which are not included in the listing.
