Chestnut Farmhouse

Chestnut Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations and a partial refacing in the early 19th century. It is timber-framed, featuring curved and diagonal braces. The infill is whitewashed brick, with a facing of brick to the two bays on the left. Part of the house has a whitewashed rubble stone plinth. The roof is half-hipped and thatched, with a brick chimney incorporating 'V' pilasters between the left bays, and a smaller brick chimney on the right. The house has one-and-a-half storeys and three bays. There are paired, barred wooden casement windows with small panes; the ground floor windows on the left have cambered heads, and the first-floor windows are set into the thatched roof. A lobby entry between the left bays has an early 19th-century four-panelled door, set within a wooden doorcase with segmental pilaster strips to the jambs and a moulded cornice hood supported on scroll brackets. The interior features 17th-century spiral staircases, one positioned to the front of the main stack, alongside large wind braces in the roof.
