Description
Chestnut Lodge is a detached house built in the early 19th century, possibly incorporating elements from an earlier structure. It features random rubble limestone with a rendered front that is incised to resemble ashlar, along with ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. The house is three stories tall and has a front with three windows: the ground and middle floors have 12-pane sash windows, while the upper floor has 6-pane sash windows, all framed with moulded architraves and bracketed sills.
The central doorway is pedimented and flanked by attached Tuscan columns, with a fluted frieze panel above. The door itself is a six-panel fielded design with a fanlight. A moulded cornice with a blocking course runs along the top of the front. The roof is hipped, and the sides of the house feature central projecting chimney stacks with later shafts that have moulded caps. The fenestration on the sides is mixed, with mostly 20th-century casements.
At the rear, there is a rebuilt central projection in artificial stone that includes a large round-arched stair sash window with glazing bars. It is said that there is a 17th-century carved doorway that may have been removed to the adjacent mill buildings. Chestnut Lodge was originally built as a house for the mill owner of the nearby Stoneford or Halliday's Mill.
