Description
Chelborough House, with attached farm buildings to the south, is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations from the 18th century and a refenestration in the early 19th century. The building features rubble-stone walls and ashlar quoins, topped with a thatch roof that has stone gable copings and ovolo-moulded kneelers. There are brick stacks at the gable ends and one at the ridge left of center. The house is single depth, two storeys high, with dormers. It has three windows that are sashes with thin glazing bars, and these are adorned with moulded stone architraves, projecting keys, and stone cills. The windows also have brick aprons. There are two 3-light 20th-century dormers with casements and one original 2-light stone mullion window on the north gable end. The front door, located left of center, features a moulded architrave, fluted pilasters, and brackets that support an open segmental pediment. The door itself is a flush and recess-panel type with two top lights, dating from the 19th century.
To the left of the house is an attached two-storey gateway with early 19th-century brick walls and ashlar stone jambs at the entry, which has a slate roof. This section has two windows, each with 2-light casements, and two-leaf plank doors at the center. Further to the left is a long nibble-stone range that is one storey high, with a hipped slate roof and no openings facing the road, with entrances located at the rear.
