Description

The Chantry, including the archway and wall, is an early 19th-century detached house that has undergone later alterations. It is two stories tall and features a three-window front that is cement-rendered facing the road. The house has sash windows and a rusticated door surround, which is complemented by a later peaked porch. To the left, there is a yard entry with a three-centred arch. Adjacent to this, there is a short stretch of stone rubble wall extending to the east.
