Description
Chesham House is a farmhouse dating to around 1800. It is constructed of colourwashed brick with slate roofs. The house comprises an advanced main block with a service cross wing to the rear, where the cross wing overlaps the main block by one regular bay on each side. The main block has two storeys and three bays featuring sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath skewback arches. A central front door is of two leaves, with glazed upper panels. The door has panelled reveals and a doorcase featuring a pair of reeded Roman Doric columns, single triglyphs, and a flat hood. One sash window with glazing bars to the upper floor is present in each of the projecting parts of the cross wing. The main block has a hipped roof, and the cross wing has a lean-to roof.
