Description

Chandos Place is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick, with the right bays made of thin brick, partly in English bond. The building features some rubble stone at the plinth, which has moulded brick coping. The right bays have a brick pilaster at the rear. The roof is covered with old tiles, and there is a 17th-century chimney with rebuilt grouped shafts of thin brick located to the right of the centre, along with later brick chimneys to the left and between the right bays. The house has an irregular T-plan with a projecting wing at the rear and is one storey with an attic, comprising approximately five bays. The windows include irregular 20th-century leaded casements, with two and three-light casements on the ground floor and two-light casements in gabled dormers at the eaves line. There are two 20th-century doors in gabled brick porches, each featuring a stone tablet carved with a boar's head. Additionally, there is one older three-light leaded casement in a dormer at the rear.
