Description
Chestnut House is an early 19th-century brick house with stone dressings and a slate roof. It has a double pile, two-bay plan and stands two storeys high with a symmetrical design and gable chimneys. A stone band runs along the first floor, and the center of the facade is slightly stepped forward. The entrance features a door with a porch supported by Ionic pilasters, an entablature, and a rectangular fanlight. All the windows are sashed with glazing bars, stone sills, and splayed stone heads. At the rear, there is a narrow two-storey extension. Inside, there is a good contemporary staircase with a simple Georgian design. In the garden behind the house, there is a very large bottle-shaped well with brick lining, although this is not included in the listing.
