Description
Chapman's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1664, as noted on a plastered chimney plaque, with alterations and additions made around 1860. It is timber-framed with rough cast render and features a modern plain tile roof with apex finials. The building has a tall, central ridge stack that has a moulded red brick cornice and is partly plastered and rebuilt. It is one storey high with attics and follows a two-unit, lobby entry plan, with a 19th-century rear kitchen wing constructed from Bourn great bricks.
The facade is symmetrical and includes a 19th-century two-storey gabled porch that has a shaped bargeboard and finial, along with balustered lights and a boarded and filleted door. There are two ground floor casement windows, one casement window above the porch, and two casement dormer windows. Inside, the farmhouse features sealed inglenook hearths, a deep plaster frieze in the south room, original bolection moulded doors, boarded doors, and boxed ceiling beams.
