The Chantry

The Chantry is a former rectory, now a house, built for the Reverend Samuel Warneford in the early 19th century, with a mid to late 19th century extension and a 20th century sun loggia that is not of special interest. The main part of the building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a slate roof, while the extension is made of coursed squared and dressed limestone with a limestone slate roof. The main body has a rectangular double pile plan and is three storeys tall, while the extension to the left is two storeys. The main body features five windows, all with 12-pane sash windows, and the third floor has 6-pane sashes. There is a band below the first floor windows and a central late 19th century part-glazed panelled door. The extension is stepped down from the main body, has two storeys and then one storey, and contains one window with a 12-pane sash. The main body has a wooden eaves cornice with paired brackets. At the rear, there is an open-sided entrance porch supported by free-standing columns and featuring a flat stone roof with a moulded modillioned cornice. Inside, there are window shutters and several original fireplaces, although the interior has not been inspected.
