Chicheley Hall, one of Buckinghamshire's finest mansions was built between 1719 and 1723 (Pevsner gives the date of construction as 1698 to 1703). The house has been attributed to the architect Thomas Archer who is thought to have designed it for Sir John Chester. The principal facade of the house is of nine bays on three floors upon a raised basement, the central section of three bays projects. Massive fluted corinthian pilasters flank the central three bays, these are repeated at each termination of the facade and again dividing the second from the third bay of each wing flanking the central projection. The facade is symmetrical, however the curve topped windows of the central projection are taller than the flat topped windows of the wings, thus uniformity at roof level is achieved by an upward curve to the central section from the wings, giving the house, with its concealed roof, an almost continental baroque appearance.

The house was purchased from the Chester family by Earl Beatty in 1952. It had in its immediate past been used by the military, and as a school.

Harboard's masterful, classical colour schemes accentuating moulding and panelling perfectly suit the house.
