Description
Chesham House is an early 19th-century building of two storeys. It is constructed of red brick with a flat-pitched roof covered in square slate tiles. The front features three sash windows. A central doorcase is distinguished by simple, flat Doric pilasters supporting an entablature and cornice, sheltering a panelled door and fanlight. The eaves are boarded. The windows retain their original glazing bars. Modern shops occupy the ground floor.
