Chatford House

Chatford House is a farmhouse dated 1776, which incorporates an earlier house and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from reddish-brown brick, featuring stone angle quoins and coped verges on kneelers, topped with a plain tile roof and external end stacks that are stepped to the right. It stands three storeys tall and has a toothed eaves cornice. The front has three windows with cross-paned sashes set in original openings, complete with plastered heads and projecting keystones. The centre gable displays the datestone "GB/1776" and is flanked by gabled eaves dormers, all featuring stone coping. The central entrance has a late 20th-century glazed door within a panelled doorcase, which includes a rectangular overlight with a decorated bottom edge, all beneath a flat-roofed porch supported by wooden posts. At the rear, there is a long lower brick range at right angles, which likely conceals a timber frame. Inside, the house features a late 18th-century staircase with elegant turned balusters leading to the centre hall.
