Description

Chestnut Farmhouse is a house that dates from the mid-18th century, with two additional bays added around 1800. The mid-18th century section features red and vitreous chequer brick, while the right bay has been altered with more irregular brickwork. It has a chamfered plinth and a first-floor band course, topped with an old tile roof and a brick chimney on the left side. The house is two storeys tall and has three bays, with the right bay being more widely spaced. The windows are barred wooden casements, with two-light windows in the left bays and on the first floor of the right bay, and a three-light window on the ground floor of the right bay. The ground floor left windows and the door between the right bays have gauged heads. At the rear of the right bay, there is a wing that includes some irregular timbering in its walls. The two later bays to the left are made of red and vitreous brick, featuring red brick quoins and window surrounds, a first-floor band course, and an old tile roof. This section is also two storeys tall, with the lower floor having 20th-century barred wooden cross casements and the upper floor featuring four-pane sashes in moulded frames. There is a lean-to at the rear and a panelled room on the ground floor.
