Chetwynds

Chetwynds is a picturesque gabled house, largely dating to the mid-17th century, with two further parallel ranges added in the later 17th century. It is constructed mainly of lias rubble, with a pantile roof and stone chimneys on the gables. The house is two storeys high, with tall gables extending into an attic space. The windows are stone mullion windows, with drips above them.

The east front features a gable with a three-light window on both the second floor and the ground floor, and a four-light window on the first floor. A relieving arch sits above the ground floor window, and there is an oval opening at the top of the gable. A further gable to the left has a three-light (wooden mullion) window to the ground floor, and a chimney. The gabled north return has a partially blocked first-floor stair window, with a cornice and a later wooden lintel. There is a two-window extension to the right, and a lean-to with a large oval window. The south front has a tall gable on the right which acts as a turret extending to the west, with a catslide roof to the east; it features an oval window at the top of the gable, a later three-light attic casement, and a two-light window on the first floor. Below is a doorway with a bread-oven projection to the right. A one-and-a-half storey extension is on the left, with a three-light window in a gabled half-dormer and a similar window to the ground floor to the right. Most of the window openings have later corbelling above, acting as rain offsets.

Inside, the southwest room has two cupboards with moulded panels and decorative hinges; the fireplace has a cross-panelled frieze, and to one side is a screen with multiple mouldings as a baffle to the entrance. The room above the southwest room has partly moulded trusses. The attic above the west room has an original moulded plank door with its surround and decorative hinges, as does the attic above the east room. The west attic room serves as a belvedere, with windows to the south and west, and contains a chamfered collar truss. The staircase is part newel to the first floor, and then a further newel staircase leads up to the attic.
