Description
Chestnut Cottages is a house dating from the 16th century. It has a timber frame with a rendered ground floor and a weather-boarded first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The right side of the building features tile hanging. The house is two storeys high and has a continuous first floor jetty, with a hipped roof that includes stacks on the left and a projecting stack at the right end. There are two wooden casement windows on each floor and a boarded door to the right, located in a gabled porch. To the left, there is an early 19th-century addition made of buff brick and pantiles, which is now a separate cottage.
