Description
The Chestnuts is a house built in 1668, with an early 19th-century front. It features a render over Pennant rubble construction, with gable-end brick stacks at both the front and rear cross wing, and a roof made of pantiles and slate. The building has an L-shaped plan that includes a through passage to the cross wing and an outshut at the back. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window range.
The garden front displays two-light casement windows on the ground floor and 4/4-pane sash windows in flush boxes on the first floor. It is accentuated by a symmetrically-placed Greek Revival plain wooden porch with a six-panel door and has two flat-topped dormers. To the left, there is a 19th-century extension featuring a parapet and a gable-end stack, with a two-light sliding sash window and an attic dormer above the rear catslide. The right-hand rear elevation extends back under a parapeted valley, displaying a two-window range with 3/3-pane sashes on the left and 6/6 sashes on the right, both with thick glazing bars on the ground floor. The cross wing has a single-window range with a plain four-light mullion and transom window on the ground floor, containing iron-framed casements under a brick relieving arch, which has been replaced by coupled 6/6-pane sashes on the first floor. There is a door leading to a single-storey rear extension that is butted against the house.
Inside, the property features panelled shutters on all front windows, many original doors, and a lantern on the top floor.
