Description

Chantry House is a two-storey, single-depth house built with stone walls that have pebbledash cladding. The roof is mainly covered with asbestos slate, with slate tiles at the south-west end of the garden pitch; it was formerly thatched. There is a rebuilt stack on the south-west gable.

The north-west elevation facing the road features a lateral stack with a rebuilt top for the north-east room. To the right, there is a single-light window above and a single-light ground floor window in the reveals of the south-west room, with a taller first-floor window above it. The north-east gable end has a battered base and includes a 20th-century two-light window with 3 + 3 panes on the ground floor and a smaller window above.

The south-east elevation facing the garden is divided into two sections, with the left part set forward. This section has a 20th-century lean-to covering the ground floor and a modern casement window above. To the right, there is a doorway and a modern casement window with a blocked window above. This section was likely heightened in the 19th century. The south-east or garden elevation is a prominent feature in views of the village from the lanes.

The interior was not accessible during the resurvey, but previous descriptions suggest that several features may still be present. These include a north-east ground floor room with stopped and chamfered beams and scratch joists, extending south-west to an internal stone partition wall. In the reveals of the north-east ground floor window, there are two small plaster panels depicting a woman in late 16th to early 17th-century costume in the north-west reveal and a jester in the south-east reveal. Additionally, there is an arched, stopped and chamfered fireplace in the north-west wall, featuring a plaster fleur-de-lys and a moulded string above. There was also a former fireplace stair leading to the south-west room in the north-west angle. These features have been confirmed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
