Chelsing Farmhouse

Chelsing Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with extensions from the 18th century and further cased and extended in the early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is cement rendered, with stock brick used on the front and rear, and has tiled roofs. The original layout was likely L-shaped, consisting of a broad four-bay front range with a two-bay wing to the rear right and a later dairy wing to the rear left. The house is two storeys high with an attic.

To the left of the centre, there is a 19th-century brick porch that projects and includes a small pane fixed window at the front. The entrance is located on the right return and features a half-glazed door with a cambered head. The parapet has a diagonally set brick course. The windows include recessed glazing bar sashes, with slightly cambered heads on the ground floor right, and gauged brick flat arched heads on the ground floor left and first floor. The eaves are boxed, and there are three early gabled dormers with small pane horizontal sliding sashes.

An axial ridge stack made of early red brick is positioned to the right of centre where the main ridge meets the ridge of the rear wing. The left end has an internal stack capped with stock brick and extruded 18th-century red brick on the rendered gable end. The right gable end features an entrance with an early 19th-century trellised open porch supported by slender iron colonnettes with traceried spandrels.

Set back slightly on the right return is a rendered two-bay rear wing, which has ground floor three-light small pane casements and first floor sash and two-light small pane casements, all with flush frames. The eaves are boxed, and there is a gabled dormer with two-light small pane casements. The stock brick rear gable end includes an internal stack.

To the rear left, there is a lower two-storey, two-bay dairy wing with small pane timber and iron flush frame casements. The rear gable end is brick and features a ground floor blind opening and an internal stack, with the entrance located in the inner return. Behind the main range is a part 18th-century outbuilding that was raised in the 20th century, featuring two plank doors and two-light small pane casements with ground floor cambered heads. The interior has not been inspected.
