Cheyleswood

Cheyleswood is a house that was later divided into three dwellings with a shop. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and has been raised, extended, and altered in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame, with parts rebuilt in brick and a clay lump addition, all of which are plastered and whitewashed. The roofs are covered with red pantiles.

The layout consists of a three-cell cross-entry plan with an extended two-bay service wing at the rear right, forming an L shape. The building is two storeys tall, with a one-storey and attic rear wing. On the ground floor, the front is all brick, with the entrance located towards the right in the cross-entry position. There are steps leading up to a 19th-century six-panelled door, which has shaped brackets supporting a projecting hood. To the right of the entrance is an eight-pane former shop window with a hoodboard, and to the left are three architraved 16-pane glazing bar sash windows, with boxed eaves. The roof is hipped at the right end, featuring an exposed post up to the original eaves, an eight-pane shop window, and a first-floor window with a four-over-eight pane sash.

Internally, there is an original axial stack located between the hall and parlour, with an inserted 19th-century stack in the hall. Behind the main range, there is a two-storey lean-to made of flint, brick, and clay lump, along with a smaller lean-to outshut that has two-light glazing bar casements. The lower service range at the rear right has a steeply pitched roof and features two-light metal frame part-opening casements, with an axial ridge stack situated between the original kitchen and dairy. Additionally, there is a one-storey two-bay clay lump addition behind, which also has a central ridge stack. The interior frame is concealed and altered, and the former shop area includes 19th-century pilasters supporting a binding beam. The building is included for its group value.
