Description
The Chestnuts is a late 18th or early 19th century farmhouse with an adjoining barn. The farmhouse has painted stucco walls with vertically-aligned quoins, beneath a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and cement-rendered chimney stacks. The barn is constructed of whitewashed rubble. The farmhouse is two storeys high and three bays wide, with a lower, longer barn extending to the right. A top-glazed six-panel door is set within a painted stone surround and sits within a 20th-century porch. Sash windows are set in painted stone surrounds. The barn has a plank door set within an alternate-block surround, with slit vents above. A right-hand doorway is blocked, and there is a loft. The rear of the barn features a segmental cart doorway, a plank door, a sash window, and two-light flat stone-mullioned windows. The barn extends behind the farmhouse. A byre adjoining the farmhouse on the left is not included in the listing.
