Offices (Building No2) At Chalford Industrial Estate With Boundary Wall

The Offices (Building No 2) at Chalford Industrial Estate, with a boundary wall, is a former house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the early to mid-16th century and was extended in the early 18th century. A later mill building wing has since been demolished. The structure is built of coursed and dressed limestone, featuring concrete block rebuilt chimneys and a concrete tile roof.

The building is two stories high. The south front has a central gabled two-storey porch, which includes a single-light window on the ground floor and a two-light casement on the upper floor. Both windows are recessed with cavetto mullions and have four-centred arched lights. To the left on the upper floor, there is a two plus two light casement with a king mullion and hoodmould, while below it are two casements with timber lintels. The right part of the elevation has been rebuilt following the removal of the mill wing.

At the west end, there is a central projecting chimney flanked by two upper floor two-light windows and an attic single-light window, all featuring four-centred arched heads and hoodmoulds. On the north side, the original part of the building on the right has a ground floor two-light and an upper floor three-light casement, both arched like those on the south. To the left, a two-light flat mullioned casement and the remainder of the range were added in the 18th century.

The east end has two upper floor 12-pane sash windows with keyed, moulded architraves and bull-nosed sills, along with a central keyed attic window with a fixed light. The attached boundary walls along London Road have weathered top coping. Inside, there is an early 18th-century staircase featuring turned balusters and a moulded handrail. This building may have been one of the mill buildings owned by Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1523.
