Chalford Manor Farmhouse

Chalford Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse likely built in the early 17th century. It features a stone coursed rubble plinth, red brick with some flared headers in English bond on the ground floor, and large timber framing with brick infill at the center of the first floor. The first floor is also adorned with tile hanging on the timber framing to the left and right. The roof is covered with old plain tiles and is cross-gabled to the left, with a large brick end stack on the left that has truncated diagonally-set flues.

The building has a two-unit through-passage plan with a cross-wing, standing two storeys high with an attic and a four-window range. A 20th-century ribbed door is located to the left of the center, leading to a porch made of timber framing with brick infill and a plain-tile gabled roof. To the left, there is a 20th-century round bay window featuring a wood mullion and a transom window with leaded lights. The center has two three-light wood mullion and transom windows, while the first floor center has three wood cross-windows. The left side has a three-light wood mullion and transom window, and a two-light wood mullion window is present in the cross-gable on the left. A raking dormer in the center features a wood mullion window with 13 lights.

Inside, there is a straight flight staircase to the left of the center and a winder staircase at the right end. The sitting room on the left has an open fireplace with a moulded brick Tudor-arched surround. The ground floor showcases ovolo-moulded spine beams and a queen-post roof construction. The farmhouse is thought to have been built by William Hester in 1615 for his son, also named William, who married Dorothy Clarke. The site is partly moated.
