Description
Chestnut House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with probable subdivision from the early 19th century and restoration completed in 1959. It is constructed of gritstone rubble and has a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and features four first-floor windows. The corners are marked by quoins.
To the right of the center, there is a 20th-century glazed door set in an elegant doorway with a segmental head and chamfered quoined jambs, where the chamfer includes a fillet and cyma moulding. The doorway is flanked by a two-light and a three-light flat-faced mullion window, both of which have been rebuilt. There is also an enlarged three-light mullioned window on the far left, featuring cyma moulded chamfers and extensive rebuilding.
On the first floor, there are two three-light recessed chamfered windows to the left and two three-light flat-faced mullion windows to the right, all of which have been rebuilt and are likely enlarged. The house has ashlar end stacks. The rear wall was rebuilt in a different alignment in 1959 and includes a chamfered segmental-headed doorway, with the lintel raised, located to the left of center, along with some reused recessed chamfered surrounds for the windows.
Inside, there is a wide segmental-arched fireplace with chamfered voussoirs and a brick-lined oven to the left of the entrance, which was rebuilt to the left during the 1959 restoration.
