I see okay.

 

Would you recommend a way to find out what the root structure would be like under there? this is a fairly large tree by a pond and steps in an area where quite a few visitors walk. Hope you don't mind me asking for free consultation. 

Airspading is one option. Uncovering the roots with compressed air and ‘sounding’ the roots to listen for wood density/function/decay. Can also use a spade ’carefully’. There are other detection techs available, but I have no experience of those.

That looks impressive. Being sweet chestnut do you think it will have a large root plate?

 

Does one have to get down far to determine the extent of any rot on the roots or is is quite visible higher up near the root crown?

Target the areas where you find fruit bodies.

Psathyrella species perhaps but there are 400 species to choose from.

Could be something entirely different of course.

Basic ident features like gills and spore print would be useful.
