Chieveley House, Heritage mansion in Chieveley, England
Chieveley House is a red brick residence in the village of Chieveley featuring Queen Anne architectural elements, including distinctive rainwater heads that date its construction period. The building stands behind high brick walls along the High Street and retains its original structure and exterior appearance.
The house was built around 1716 and originally served as a residence for a gentleman with four children and six servants. It later housed several notable residents and earned Grade II* listed status for its architectural importance.
The house reflects early 18th-century design choices through its layout and architectural details that showcase how people organized their homes during that period.
The house sits along the village High Street but is largely hidden from the road behind high walls. Visitors should be aware this is private property and exterior viewing is the main option for those passing through.
A former prominent resident adopted the village name in 1976 when appointed as a Life Peer, choosing this estate as his new residence. This connection tied the family permanently to Chieveley and made the house part of local history.
