Chacewater House

Chacewater House is a rectory, now a private house, dating to around 1832, with extensions added in the 1840s. The original construction is stucco over stone rubble, topped with a steep slate roof using Delabole slate, with gable ends and projecting verges at the southwest end. A lower-pitched roof with rendered brick chimney stacks, one with three flues, is also present. A rendered stack is situated over the southwest wall, slightly projecting. A hipped lean-to roof, also with scantle slate, covers the single-storey entrance and larder to the northeast.

The original layout was a double-depth, two-room plan, with a staircase accessed by an axial passage between the front and rear rooms from the northeast entrance. Around the 1840s, the house was extended to the southwest in a Tudor style, incorporating a rectangular room with a butler's pantry to the rear, and a cellar beneath.

The southeast front has two storeys plus an attic, featuring a one- and two-window arrangement. A gable end of the Tudor style extension is visible, with a plinth and rusticated stucco quoins. The original front features a four-light, canted, hipped-roof, mullioned bay window; it retains its fifteen-pane fixed lights. Above the bay window is an opening with a hoodmould, originally featuring a central mullion, now with a horned sixteen-pane sash. An oculus window above has wheel glazing. The earlier section to the right has projecting stuccoed keystones over the openings and later sixteen-pane, horned sashes.

The northeast entrance front includes a Victorian conservatory, with an arched door featuring Gothic glazing. To the right of the conservatory is a circa 1840s four-centred arched window set within painted rubble walling, containing an original traceried window with a central mullion and arched lights.

Internally, original features from both the circa 1832 and circa 1840s periods are retained, including panelled doors and a dog-leg staircase with a mahogany handrail over stick balusters, turned newel posts, and a curved balustrade. A ground floor room in the southwest section features a moulded and carved ceiling band and roll-moulded architrave surrounding the bay window. Garden ornaments include a Victorian letter box and lamp post.
