Full description

Department of Environment, 1987, Thorverton, 87 (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV340052.

Chilton. Circa early C16 origins, remodelled in 2 phases in the late C16/early C17, C20 re-roofing and renovations. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings, part of rear wall repaired in stone; asbestos slate roof, gabled at ends (formerly thatched); end stacks (right end projecting with set-offs and a semi-circular bread oven), axial stack to left of centre, all with modern brick shafts.
A large house with a late medieval core and overall L-shaped plan. The main range is a three room and through passage arrangement. Inner room not inspected but evidently C17 or earlier and used as a kitchen at one time. Roofspace not inspected but said to retain smoke-blackened jointed crucks below new timbering.
Two storeys. Asymmetrical front with front door to left of centre into putative passage. Hall is very complete with a large open fireplace. The insertion of the hall stack involved the removal of part of a late medieval plank and muntin screen at the higher end, the surviving screen has muntins chamfered on the passage side and a doorway to the passage with a cranked lintel. See DoE list for full details.
