The Chestnuts

This is a mid-18th century house with a facade dating to the early 19th century, arranged in an L-shape. It is constructed of red brick, with a plain tiled roof, a parapet, and tumbled gable ends. Brick stacks are located at the ends of the building. The house is two storeys high with attics, and has two flat-roofed dormers on either side of a central dormer, which has an ogee-arched head. The facade features a moulded stone cornice and a band separating the two storeys. The symmetrical front elevation has two-storey canted bays with reeded architraves, corner boss enrichments, and moulded cornices. The central hung sash window has coloured glass to the margin lights, framed by a semi-circular head. A central doorway is defined by a doorcase with fluted, half-round engaged columns, a plain entablature, and a cornice. The panelled door is set within its reveals, and is surmounted by a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. Two late 18th century service wings are located at the rear of the property, one dated 1785, with brick pantiled and plain tiled roofs. Early 19th century piers and gates are positioned on the front right-hand side, with cast-iron gates featuring a honeysuckle ornament.
