The Chestnuts is a double pile house dated 1825, located on the north side of High Street in Somersham. It is constructed of gault brick and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof with boarded eaves and end stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a range of four hung sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor, which are topped by flat arches.

The side entry is marked by a double recessed doorway with a semi-circular headed arch made of gauged brick. The inner order of the arch is moulded, and the recessed door is both panelled and glazed, topped with a fanlight that includes glazing bars.

Additionally, there is an original wrought iron gateway leading to the road, and a boundary wall at the rear made of gault brick, with some red brick and Warboys white saddleback coping brick.
