Description
Chestnut Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located in South Elmham St. James. It has two storeys and features a timber-framed structure with roughcast on the upper floor and old red brick with a mix of blue headers on the ground floor, laid in English Bond. The roof is covered with 20th-century concrete plaintiles. The building has a basic three-cell lobby-entrance layout.
Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with four hexagonal attached shafts on a rectangular base. The exterior includes old two-light and three-light casement windows with transoms and pintle hinges on each storey. There are two identical four-panel doors, with the top two panels being glazed, located within open lattice work porches that are gabled, featuring bargeboards, spike finials, and boarded sides. A wing extends from the rear of the farmhouse. Access to the property has been refused.
