Upper Chilland House

Upper Chilland House is an early 18th-century house with an early 19th-century wing added to the rear. It is constructed of chequered brick, with slated and tiled roofs. The main block is a double pile, five-bay building, with a two-storey wing of the early 19th century extending from the left rear corner. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The central entrance features a late 18th-century six-panel door, sheltered by a Doric porch composed of two columns and two pilasters, supporting a full entablature with a frieze and lions’ heads in roundels, both front and sides. There are nine 12-pane flush framed sash windows with rubbed brick heads. A first-floor string course and a moulded timber eaves cornice run around the building. The front roof is hipped with slate and has two flat-roofed dormers with six-pane sashes. The rear roof is tiled. Symmetrical brick stacks are located on the end wall of the front roof and at the right end of the rear roof. Inside, the front door opens into a hall, leading through a segmental arch of moulded timber to a staircase hall. This hall contains a steep, early 18th-century open spiral staircase with a tall window behind. Many other 18th-century features are present throughout the house. The early 19th-century wing retains its original front with casements and 20-pane sashes.
