Chesterton House

Chesterton House is an early 19th-century house, now a nursing home, with later 19th-century and late 20th-century additions. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone with ashlar dressings, and has Welsh slate hipped roofs with nine ashlar stacks and one rendered stack to the rear.

The main range is central and flanked by two lower, contemporary wings, with a further early 19th-century range to the rear. Later 19th-century wings have been added to the front left, right side, and rear, alongside a very large late 20th-century wing to the far left.

The central block of the main range has three stories and three windows, while the wings each have three stories and one window. The first floor has five 2/2-pane sash windows to the centre in plain reveals, and five 3/6-pane sashes to the centre on the second floor, also in plain reveals with projecting stone cills, and flat, unmoulded surrounds to the wing windows. The ground floor has two 2/2-pane sashes, one small 1/1-pane sash, and a triple sash with timber mullions in the wing to the right. A late 19th-century canted ashlar bay with four 2/2-pane sashes and a pair of glazed doors with a single-pane overlight is located in the wing to the left, all set in chamfered reveals and finished with a moulded stone cornice and blocking course.

An enclosed Greek Doric porch is situated to the centre left, containing a pair of half-glazed doors with decorative circular patterns in the bottom panels and a decorative overlight. The porch features two Greek Doric columns, a triglyph and metope frieze, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course.

The central block of the main range features a shallow plinth, a cill band to the first floor, an ashlar frieze, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and a blocking course. Recessed strips to the left and right angles are ashlar-faced, and flush quoins are present at the forward breaks. Decorative ironwork at the apex of the roof supports a weathervane. The flanking wings of the main range also have a shallow plinth, a frieze, a moulded eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The late 19th-century wing to the left is two stories high with two 1/1-2/2-1/1-pane triple sashes with timber mullions in plain reveals with stone cills. A canted bay is on the ground floor of the right wing.

Further wings and a stable wing are set back to the rear right, all in a style similar to the late 19th-century wing to the front left. A wing set back to the right displays a small ashlar bellcote on the gable, topped with a bell bearing illegible lettering from ground level. A rear range, dating back to the early 19th century, features three 6/6-pane sashes to the first floor. The interior of the house was not inspected.
