Description
The Chequers is a 17th or 18th century timber-framed house located on the west side of Upper Street in Gissing. It features a plastered exterior with a brick plinth and a thatched roof with gabled ends. The house has one storey and an attic, with three windows on the ground floor and two gabled dormers above. The dormers contain 18th or 19th century three-light casements. There are also two modern doors and an off-centre brick chimney stack. A date of 1799 is inscribed in the gable of the left-hand dormer. Additionally, there is a later lean-to extension at the rear.
