Chancel End House

Chancel End House is a detached house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of brick, featuring headers on the front, Flemish bond on the sides, and English bond on the rear, with chamfered rusticated quoins and a hipped tiled roof with brick stacks. The house has a gable end facing the road and is two stories high with three windows. The windows are sashes, and the central door has six fielded panels with an Adam-style fanlight above in a semi-circular head, supported by an open pediment on carved stone consoles. There are plate glass sashes on either side of the door, each with dropped keystones under flat arches. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane sashes and a 2-light casement to the right, all fitted with louvred shutters and flat arches with dropped keystones.

The left return features a well-crafted six-panelled door with egg-and-dart moulded panels, an Adam-style fanlight, and a similar pediment as the front door, along with a 2-light casement on the first floor. The rear of the house includes a wide 4-pane sash on the ground floor and 2-light casements on the first floor. Attached to the right return is a mid-19th century two-story extension made of English garden wall bond brick, featuring a half-glazed door and segmental-headed casements with keystones.

Inside, the ground floor front boasts particularly fine six-panelled doors with egg-and-dart moulding set in elaborately moulded architraves with enriched bead and reel mouldings. The central staircase has stick balusters, a wreathed, ramped handrail, and carved cheeks. The rear interior includes doors with two fielded panels and a planked door leading to the cellar. It is said that the house was built by the Snelgrove family.
