Description
Chapel Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century, which was divided before 1810 and is currently empty, awaiting renovation. It features a timber frame set on a low red brick sill, with red brick infill that is covered by lath and roughcast. The northern chimney is made of squared clunch, and the building has a steep old red tile roof. There is a 19th-century brick lean-to at the rear of the northern part. Originally a single-storey house with two bays and a northern chimney-bay facing west, it has since been modified to include an inserted floor and an added internal southern gable brick chimney with a stair in the southeast corner.
Inside, there is a winding stair with a 17th-century oak panelled door located at the northwest corner in a recess next to an older open fireplace. The cottage is now 1.5 storeys high, featuring two two-light casement windows and a plank door to the left of each window. A gabled dormer on the roofslope of the northern half has collapsed inwards, while there is a window in the southern gable. The interior includes a tiled floor, axial beams, and a clasped-purlin roof with curved wind-braces, and the roof is not smoke blackened. A tie-beam has been cut for a doorway.
