Description
Chapel Cottage is a cottage from the late 17th century. It is timber framed and has a plastered exterior with a weatherboarded lower section. The cottage has a thatched roof and is arranged in three bays facing south, featuring a central stack that creates a lobby-entrance. It is one storey high with attics and includes two 20th-century casement windows and a plain boarded door. The roof is half-hipped at both ends, and there is a swept dormer located at the centre of the rear pitch of the roof.
