Description
Chestnut Farmhouse is a large farmhouse, likely dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble with a stone-tiled roof. The main section of the farmhouse is three bays wide and features a full-height canted stone bay window to the left. The original central doorway, now blocked and replaced with a window, was framed by a moulded stone architrave. A further window was inserted to the right of the blocked doorway. Upper-floor windows have moulded stone architraves, and there are two gabled dormers above. The gables are coped and the gable ends have stone stacks. The rear of the farmhouse has several stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. A lower, two-storey bay has been added to the left side.
A single-storey range of farm buildings adjoins the farmhouse to the right, probably dating from the late 18th century. These buildings are also of coursed rubble and have a corrugated iron roof, likely replacing a previous thatch. They contain a single two-light casement window with a chamfered timber lintel to the left, various ventilation slits, buttresses, and large central doors that are now blocked.
