The Chestnuts Farmhouse

The Chestnuts is a farmhouse dating from 1659, which was extensively remodelled in the early 19th century, with further additions in the 19th century and some alterations in the late 19th century. The walls are of regular coursed ironstone, with some rendering to the left return side. It has slate hipped roofs and brick ridge stacks. The building is in an irregular L-shape, with a wing to the right rear.

The main two-storey and attic section has a three-window front. A single-storey projecting entrance range on the right has a 20th-century half-glazed door and overlight with glazing bars. The windows are mostly tripartite sashes, with concrete lintels. A blocked central window is present on the ground floor; a central sash and a window to the right have stone lintels. The left return side is irregular, with three parallel roof slopes. This section has a three-window range, including a late 19th-century half-glazed door, glazed panels, and overlight, each with three arched lights. A blocked mullioned window and sash are on the right side. A datestone inscribed "John Bithell" is present. A tripartite sash window serves the staircase, and the first-floor sashes have stone lintels with keystones. A set-back range is to the left, featuring a 19th-century cross window. A single-storey range to the right has a door and a three-light casement with a painted wood lintel. The right return side has a cross wing on the left. A single-storey projection has a half-glazed door and a small window. There is no first-floor window. An irregular four-window wing includes two plate glass sashes, a half-glazed door and overlight, and a very large 19th/20th-century rectangular bay window. The first floor has sashes and a tripartite sash on the right side. Two flat-roofed dormers are present; the left is hidden behind a lateral stack between the first two bays. The interior was not inspected.
