Chandos Farmhouse

Chandos Farmhouse is a timber-frame farmhouse, dating from approximately 1600. It was significantly extended and altered in the early 18th century for E. Simons, and further altered and extended in the mid-19th century. The house has a three-cell lobby entry plan, later extended to eight bays and turned around, with a further addition behind the original service wing to create a large L-shaped layout. It is two storeys and has an attic, with a steeply pitched plain tiled roof.

The front elevation features an entrance to the right of centre, between the hall and service wing. This incorporates a 19th-century gabled porch with a six-panelled door, architrave, a hoodmould, a blank shield of arms, a finialed bargeboard, small lights with Gothic glazing, and hoodmoulds to the returns. The hall and parlour on the left have 19th-century canted bay windows with 3-light casements and Gothic glazing; a similar 3-light casement with a hoodmould is found in the service bay to the right. First-floor windows are similarly arranged as 3-light, 3-light, 2-light, and 3-light casements, with a cornice to the boxed eaves. A rebuilt ridge stack is located to the right of centre. The left end of the house is constructed of early 18th-century brick, with an offset plinth, moulded kneelers to the gable parapet and an "ES" marking in iron. A central axial internal stack is also present. The right end has 2-, 3-, and 4-light casements with exposed plates and purlins, and bargeboards.

At the rear, a two-storey continuous lean-to of 19th-century red brick with kneelers to the parapet and glazing bar casements is situated in the centre and to the left. The ground floor has gauged brick flat-arched heads. There's also a lower 18th-century service bay with a 2-light casement and a dormer. A 20th-century link connects the main house to a formerly detached early 18th-century kitchen/dairy block of five bays, constructed with a plastered timber frame and a red brick gable end. This block includes moulded kneelers to the parapet, an internal stack, casements, and a pentice board to the rear.

The interior largely has its frame concealed by 19th-century finishes but retains a chamfered binding beam, mid-rail and storey posts, run-out chamfered joists, some close studding, and later tension bracing in the right-end wall. The roof is a staggered tenoned purlin roof with some reverse curved windbraces. The kitchen block has a stop-chamfered binding beam and jowled posts.
