Description
The Chestnuts is an 18th-century house, potentially part of a larger building. It is a two-storey structure built with a timber frame and plastered walls. The roof is thatched, with a hipped section facing the street. A single-storey lean-to extension is present on the south side, featuring a double Roman tile roof. The ground floor has a mid-20th century window and door, while the upper floor contains two two-light casement windows with a single bar across the top. The building is listed for its contribution to the group value of the surrounding buildings.
