Description

Chestnut Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill and additional structures, topped with a thatched roof. The cottage is one and a half storeys high and has two main bays, with an extra bay added at one end that includes a lean-to. The front of the cottage has this added bay on the right-hand side, which is complemented by a gabled weatherboard porch near the end. There are two-light casement windows on either side, and three or four-light casement windows in the other bays. Above each bay, there are tall 20th-century two-light casements set in gabled dormers. All the windows feature diamond-pane leaded lights. The roof is half-hipped at the right-hand end, with a stack at the left-hand end and a ridge stack over the right bay.
