Description
Chetwynd House is a mid-18th century building located on the west side of Chetwynd End. It is constructed of red brick and features two storeys with five sash windows that have shallow segmental heads, moulded keyblocks, and sills. The building has quoins at the sides and a stuccoed doorcase with a simple architrave, a stepped segmental pediment, and a four-panelled divided door. The eaves are moulded wood, and the roof is covered with old tiles.
Although the interior has been significantly altered due to its conversion into flats, it still retains the original oak staircase, which is now painted. Chetwynd House has literary significance as it served as the inspiration for Miss Havisham's house in Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations."
