Chapel House

Chapel House is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 16th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th century and mid to late 19th century, as well as a 1980 addition. The building is constructed of roughly coursed and uncoursed sandstone rubble, partly rendered, with a timber-framed core, and has a plain tile roof. It features a barn with a two-bay projecting gabled cross-wing to the left and stands two storeys tall. There is an integral brick end stack to the right, a large external lateral stack to the left with a 19th-century brick top, and an external stone and brick end stack at the rear.

The right side has a 19th-century gabled eaves dormer with a two-light wooden casement, while the ground floor to the right has a three-light wooden casement (which was formerly a door, indicated by straight joints beneath). The cross-wing includes a two-light metal attic casement and a ground-floor three-light wooden-framed metal casement, both with segmental brick relieving arches. A half-glazed boarded door is located in the angle of the cross-wing, which has a late 20th-century lean-to store and a timber-framed glazed porch. The right-hand return front shows a straight joint between the 16th-century masonry of the stack and the 19th-century masonry that replaced the former timber frame. There is also a 20th-century two-storey stone addition set back to the right and a 19th-century gabled wing at the rear.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room features a chamfered spine beam supported by a chamfered and stopped post at one end, along with a large open fireplace that has chamfered stone reveals and a former ceiling beam used as a lintel in the 20th century. A small square wooden wall cupboard with H-hinges is located to the left. The cross-wing has square-panelled timber-framed cross-walls, and the ground-floor front room of the cross-wing has been remodelled in the 18th century, featuring a new plastered ceiling beam inserted transversely (evidenced by mortices for former spine beams). An 18th-century door with raised and fielded panels and 18th-century panelled doors with H-hinges flank a 20th-century fireplace. An old winder staircase is present in the cross-wing. Despite the extensive rebuilding of most external walls in the 19th century, Chapel House retains much of its timber framing and other earlier features internally.
