Chieveley House, on the High Street in the village of Chieveley, Berkshire is a country house dating from the early 18th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. It has had a number of notable owners including Valentine Wyndham-Quin, son of Windham Wyndham-Quin, the Baroness Howard de Walden and Lord Goff of Chieveley.
The house was built around 1716, identifiable by dates on the rainwater heads. Pevsner records Chieveley as one of a range of "grand houses [set] behind high brick walls" on the village's High Street. At the time of its construction the occupants are recorded as a gentleman, his four children, and six servants.[1] In the 20th century the house was occupied by Valentine Wyndham-Quin, son of Windham Wyndham-Quin and subsequently the Baroness Howard de Walden. In 1976, Chieveley was bought by Lord Goff of Chieveley, who took the name of the village when made a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and a life peer in 1986.[2]
Pevsner describes Chieveley as a "compact hipped roofed dolls' house of red brick". The architectural style is Queen Anne.[3]
The current owners created a garden to the designs of Arne Maynard.[4] [5] In 2018 Chieveley was put up for sale with Knight Frank for £3.5 million.[1] [6]
