Description
Chestnut Farm House is a farmhouse dating from around 1700, with possibly earlier elements at the rear, and an early 19th-century front range. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with some red brick, and has machine-made pantiled roofs. The building is L-shaped in plan, consisting of a three-bay front range that is two storeys high with an attic, and a two-storey wing to the rear right.
The front has an offset brick plinth and a projecting central bay with steps leading up to a part raised, part glazed six-panel door, which has a lugged architrave and a dentilled cornice above. Flanking this door are ground floor six-light mullion and transom casements in lugged architraves with hoodboards, while the first floor features three-light architraved casements and a modillioned eaves cornice.
On the left gable end, there is an axial ridge stack that is slightly extruded, with exposed plates and double purlins. The rear right wing extends from the main structure and has a boarded door at the centre, with a brick lean-to addition to the left and double doors leading to a former coach house on the right. The first floor of this wing has a three-light casement. There is a rebuilt axial ridge stack towards the front, and the rear gable end features early brickwork with the initials 'OR' in iron on a steeply pitched gable, topped with a round capped parapet. Further to the rear is a one-storey outbuilding with a slate roof and an external end stack. The interior has not been inspected.
