Chestnut Tree Farmhouse

Chestnut Tree Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse with an L-shaped form, consisting of two storeys and attics. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with the south gable finished in painted brick. It was re-roofed with concrete plain tiles in 1984. The north-south range features an internal chimney stack with two attached square shafts that have corbelled heads, set diagonally on a square base. There are eight small projections from the base and between the shafts, which may resemble formalised horses' heads.

The farmhouse has various old casement windows, including 3-light and 4-light designs, with ground floor windows featuring transoms and square leading to the top panes, and pintle hinges. The east-west range also has an internal chimney stack with a plain square shaft and 20th-century replacement windows, along with a slatted, unglazed window in the east gable for the cheese room. The property includes various plank doors.

The two ranges appear to be contemporary or nearly so, with the north-south range consisting of six bays, including a chimney bay that contains the main living area. On the ground floor, only the main beams and a surrounding cornice are exposed, both featuring very large ovolo mouldings. The main posts have long shallow jowls, and arched braces to the tie-beams remain in place. The original upper ceilings display chamfered timbers with stepped stops, and the wallplates have face-halved and bridled scarfs. The roof is structured in nine bays, with two rows of unstepped butt purlins and heavy cambered collars on the trusses, although some windbraces have been removed. The upper floor of the east-west range reveals good studding and reversed bracing, while its roof is mostly concealed above the upper ceilings but has two rows of butt purlins similar to the other range. Each range features a newel stair by the stack.
