Description
Old Chestnut House is a house, formerly a pair of cottages, dating from the early 18th century. It features red and blue chequered brickwork and has a plain tiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic, set on a ragstone and brick plinth. It has a hipped roof, a central chimney stack, and two hipped dormers. The windows are regularly arranged, with two wooden casements on each floor; the ground floor windows have segmental lintels and are set into narrower original openings that have sunk panels below. There are boarded doors on both ends of the house, located in a raking porch that has glazed lights at the front. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot with a chimney stack positioned at the rear left.
