Description
Chickenden Cottage and Chickenden Farmhouse is a pair of houses that originated as a farmhouse in the 17th century, with a facade added in the 19th century. The building is timber framed, featuring red and grey brick on the ground floor in Flemish bond, and banded plain and fishscale tiles on the first floor. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high with a steeply-pitched hipped roof. There is a brick ridge stack towards the left and a slightly projecting brick stack at the right gable end. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four casements: three are three-light and one is a two-light located under the stack. A panelled door is situated under an open porch that is positioned beneath the stack. To the right, there is a rear wing built with similar materials, which has a hipped roof sloping to the rear and a lower ridge. The main range also has a rear lean-to. The interior has not been inspected.
