Description

Chestnut Cottage and the adjoining cottage to the left are located on Dobbin Hill in Sheffield. These buildings date from around 1780, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and again around 1977. They are constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and feature stone slate roofs topped with two coped stone ridge stacks. The structure is two storeys high and has two and three window ranges, forming an L-plan layout.

Chestnut Cottage, on the right, has a single glazing bar casement and a three-light glazing bar casement on each floor, with label moulds above the first-floor windows. The right wing also features a three-light glazing bar casement on each floor, both with label moulds. At the return angle to the left, there is a half-glazed 19th-century door with a hood supported by brackets. The adjoining cottage to the left, which is separated by a boundary wall and has a board door, includes two top-hung glazing bar casements. Below these, there is a central glazed door flanked by larger single casements. The interior has not been inspected. The adjoining cottage was previously listed as No.306 but now has an address on Falkland Road.
