Description
This 18th-century building, Chevin House and Highway Cottage, adjoins a lodge at a right angle and faces the road. It is two stories high and constructed of coursed rubble with small, widely-spaced gutter brackets. The roof is covered with stone slabs, hipped in style. The building is symmetrical, featuring three windows on the main facade. The side windows are sash windows; the top right window is modern, while the others retain glazing bars, with those on the left featuring ears. The upper central window is circular, and the doorway below it, originally with a flat head, is now blocked and replaced with a window on the left side. A doorway in the right-hand extension, once with an overlight featuring patterned glazing bars, is now incorporated into Chevin House.
The building is part of a group which includes Burley Lodge, numbers 4 to 16 (even), 24 to 30 (even), 30A, 2 Post Office Yard, St Mary’s Church, the wall surrounding the ground south of the mill pond (along Main Street and the west side of Corn Mill Lane), and the Malt Shovel Hotel.
