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. 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. Pevsner describes Chieveley as a "compact hipped roofed dolls' house of red brick". The architectural style is
Queen Anne. In 2016 the owners created a garden to the designs of Arne Maynard. In 2018 Chieveley House was put up for sale with
Knight Frank for £3.5 million. ==See also==
