Description
Chilton House is a late 17th-century house constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, set on a moulded plinth, featuring a discontinuous plat band and a brick eaves cornice beneath a hipped roof. The roof is adorned with two hipped dormers and has stacks located at the rear left and right. The house has a regular arrangement of windows, with five cross windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, all having flat arched heads. The central entrance features an 18th-century door with six raised and fielded panels, topped by a semi-circular fanlight with mouchette tracery and an open hood supported by fluted pilasters. To the left, there is a single-storey extension with one cross window. The left side of the house is rendered and channelled, capped with a parapet.
Inside, there is an open well staircase with turned newels and unturned balusters, a ramped handrail, and ramped dado panelling. Some rooms feature bolection moulded panelling and various original fittings and doors. A 17th-century wooden chimney piece displays two tiers of arcading on heavily enriched brackets. Additionally, some heavy timber partitions may suggest that an earlier framed building has been incorporated into the later structure.
