Morphology

chimneyed = chimney (transparent) = chimney + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/participial suffix '-ed' to the noun 'chimney', meaning 'having chimneys'—a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Chimneyed comes from the word chimney, which originally meant a 'furnace' or 'fireplace', plus the ending -ed meaning 'having'. So a chimneyed house is simply a house 'with' chimneys.
