Chesterhill House

Chesterhill House is a large detached house built around 1790 for Lord Ducie. It is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings and has coursed rubble chimneys, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The house is two-storey with a cellar and features a small two-storey addition on the south side.

The west front has a three-window arrangement, all of which are sash windows with stone lintels. The ground floor has a tall 12-pane sash, while the upper floor has a 20-pane sash. The central doorway is topped with a flat hoodmould and features a part-glazed door with a rectangular light above. The hipped roof has projecting eaves.

On the east front, the windows are symmetrically arranged with flat hoodmoulds. The ground floor has two outer bowed 15-pane sashes, and the upper floor has three sashes: a central 12-pane and two outer 20-pane sashes. There is also a central two-light chamfered mullioned cellar casement. The sides of the house have asymmetrical sash window arrangements below a central eaves-mounted chimney with a moulded cap, with the north side featuring one bowed sash with a brass frame and glazing bars.

A late 19th-century off-centre brick addition is located on the south side and includes sash windows. Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase, but the landing features an earlier small central oval well and a simple central skylight. A notable feature is a good late 18th-century marble fireplace that has been brought from elsewhere. In the 1830s, the house was occupied by Lord Ducie's agent, John Morton, and later became the residence of Catholic writers Henry William Wilberforce and Matthew Bridges.
