Chantry

A tall building of town hall character having 3 storeys plus attic. Rendered elevations with wide eaves and hipped pantile roof with surmounting turret, the latter with roof of gabled mansard type and urn finial; imitation clock face to the front. The village-facing (SW) elevation is in 2 parts, with the 3-storey westernmost bay recessed. This has an arched multi-pane ground-floor window with 12-pane sash to the first floor and 6-pane sash under the eaves above. The remaining part has 3 tall, round-headed windows divided into 2 storeys; multi-pane glazing. Twelve-pane, 2-part casement to the attic floor above, contained within a hipped dormer. The SE elevation has 12-pane sashes to the first floor and a flat-roofed dormer to the attic with 3-part casement; part-glazed entrance to the ground floor stepped-up via a metal stair and with tripartite window to the L.

The rear (NE) elevation is studiedly asymmetrical. It has a recessed bay to the R with entrance to the L and sashes, as before, on three storeys to the R; the entrance has an applied wooden baroque doorcase and small-pane glazed door. The advanced left-hand section has a recessed loggia to the ground floor, the upper floors jettied out above and supported on a cast iron column at the corner. The third floor is further jettied with a sloped soffit. Small 4-, 6- and 12-pane windows with a large 12-pane sash to the upper floor. This has a segmental iron balcony in front and a segmental fan above. A small lean-to store projects to the front L, its return flush with the SE elevation; boarded doors. The whole building sits upon a partly arcaded plinth built into the hillside.
