Chelsbourne is a house dating from the 15th century, with cladding added in the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a timber frame covered with red brick in English bond, and has tile hanging on the return elevations. The roof is plain tiled. Originally a hall house, it now has a lobby entry and a cross wing plan. The building is two storeys high, set on a plinth, with a central plat band and a hipped roof that has gablets. There is a projecting hipped cross-wing on the right side, with stacks to the left and projecting at the end on the right. The main block has a regular arrangement of windows, featuring two tripartite wooden casements on each floor, a central two-light window on the first floor, and a central half-glazed door with Y-tracery. The cross wing has one tripartite wooden casement on each floor. All ground floor openings have segmental heads. There is a half-glazed door to the left in the tile-hung outshot and a mullioned window on the right return.
