Description
Chestnut House is a late 18th-century house with a 19th-century single-storey extension to the right. The front facade is of ashlar stone, while the rest of the building is of coursed, squared, and dressed limestone, with a brick gable to the rear. The roof is grey slate, with flat gable coping and ashlar chimney stacks with moulded top courses. A ball finial sits atop the slate roof of the 19th-century extension on the right. The extension to the left has a tiled roof. The main body of the house is set back to the left, with a gable end facing the road, and a further extension is almost flush with the facade on the right.
The main house is two storeys with an attic lit by flat-roofed dormers, containing 2-light 20th-century wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars. There are three windows across the front. Two 16-pane sash windows, one with horns, flank a central 2-light window with a semi-circular head, replacing the original sash window. The ground floor also has sash windows, with a continuous string course above them. The central doorway is an 18th-century door with six fielded panels, sheltered by a hipped-roofed porch.
The 19th-century single-storey extension to the right has a 17th-century style, with a three-light mullioned and transomed casement window with metal glazing bars and a stopped hood. A single-storey service wing is attached to the left, featuring 20th-century wooden casements.
Inside, the house retains interior shutters to the sash windows.
