Chestnut Cottage And Railings Attached To South

Chestnut Cottage, originally a pair of cottages, dates back to 1756. It is constructed from squared, coursed flint with galletting and features red brick dressings, topped with a red pantiled roof. The cottage on the west side has two ground floor sash windows and two first floor sash windows, all with glazing bars, along with a central six-panel door. The eastern cottage has one ground floor double sash window and a single first floor sash window. There is a blocked ground floor door with a panel above it that has illegible initials and a datestone from 1756. All openings are framed with brick dressings, and the ground floor windows are set under slightly cambered brick arches. The building includes a ground floor brick string course, brick quoins, an eaves cornice, and brick coped parapet gables, with one ridge and one gable stack at the east end. Attached to the cottage on the west side are cast-iron railings featuring simple spear-headed rails and a central gate. A single-storey flint and pantiled addition to the east is present but is not considered of special interest.
