Chantry House

Chantry House is a house dating from the 18th century, with a core that may be from the 17th century or earlier. The front is made of red brick and features a parapet and stone cornice, while the rear is timber-framed and rendered. The building has a slate roof and is three storeys high with cellars. It has a four-window range with sashes that do not have glazing bars in flush cased frames, except for two windows on the second storey that have six panes. The entrance door has six raised fielded panels and a semicircular fanlight with enriched radiating glazing bars, set in a doorcase with panelled reveals, panelled pilasters, and an open pediment. The rear is complex and rendered with several gables.

Inside, the interior is mainly Georgian in style. The entrance hall features panelled dados, and there is full-height panelling in two ground storey rooms with torus mouldings. Throughout the house, there are four-panel doors with sunk panels and applied mouldings, surrounded by eared architraves. On the upper storey, there is one bolection moulded fireplace surround. A fine staircase dating from around 1700 rises two storeys and features barley-sugar twist balusters, closed and moulded strings, heavy square newels, and a moulded flat handrail. One wing at the rear has a high exposed 17th-century main beam that is off centre.
