House including garden walls and stable block. Probably late C18; later alterations. Roughcast with a slate roof;end stacks with brick shafts. Plan: Double depth plan, 2 rooms wide with a central entrance. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front with a 2-span hipped roof behind a parapet. Moulded cornice with brackets below the parapet. Central timber porch with Tuscan columns and an open pediment. Recessed 6-panel front door with panelled reveals and a pretty fanlight. Left and right ground floor 16-pane hornless sashes; similar first floor outer windows with a 12-pane hornless sash in the centre. To the left, a tall cob garden wall with slate coping includes a doorway with a half-glazed door. The wall returns to the left with tiled coping. To the right the end walls of 2 parallel blocks with a tall wall between with a square-headed doorway. The left hand block has a hipped roof and a blind recess to the first floor. The wall is coped with slate. The right hand block is a stable range and is gabled to the road with blind windows on the ground and first floor. The inner return of the stable has small-pane windows and a hayloft door. Interior: Not inspected but likely to be of interest. Dean Street escaped the 1743 fire of Crediton and the building could have a pre-C18 core. The Chantry is the only gentry town house in Dean Street, which contains a mixture of vernacular and small C19 houses. It is the most complete pre-fire street in Crediton.
