Chestnut Hill House Shelley Cottage With Adjoining Stables And Coach House To North

Chestnut Hill House, also known as Shelley Cottage, with adjoining stables and coach house, dates back to the 18th century. The house is built of roughcast over stone, with a slate roof, and is set into the hillside at the rear. It has a long, irregular plan and features 12-paned sash windows with stone sills and lintels. A two-storey bay window is located in the middle of the garden front. The property was originally a single house, and it is believed that Shelley spent his honeymoon there. To the north of the house are stone-built stables and a coach house. The coach house has red sandstone quoins, a segmental brick arch over the entrance, two boarded doors leading to the stables, two openings to a loft above, and two rows of arrow slits.
