Description

Chapel House is a house dating from the 15th century, with later alterations and additions. The main range on the right features an exposed, jettied timber frame, while the left range is plastered and includes a right return lean-to. The roofs are covered with red plain tiles, sloping lower on the left range. There are external red brick chimney stacks on the left and off-centre right. The house has two storeys. The left range, which was once used as a bakehouse and later as a post office, retains an original first-floor mullion and has a 19th or 20th-century red tiled ground floor extension that features a 20th-century casement window.

The main range has a moulded long wall jetty bressumer supported by three shafts with moulded capitals and bases. The first floor includes two three-light and a central two-light mullion window, with the left window being original. The ground floor features a left-angled bay and a right five-light mullion window. There is a left four-centre arched doorway, some original mullions at the rear, and a segmental arched doorway. A simple coved hood porch with plain supports leads to the rear door.

Inside, notable features include a herringbone brick floor, back-to-back inglenook fireplaces—one with a cambered mantel beam and the other with a moulded beam featuring an early 20th-century Adam and Eve plaster motif above. The ground floor has a moulded ceiling and bridging joists, a vertically boarded door to the chimney-side staircase, and a chamfered four-centre arched doorway. There are signs of a roof raise on the left range, with interlocked plain and angled vertically boarded walls, jowled storey posts, and mainly cut-away arched braces. The house also has a cambered tie beam and a halved and bridled top plate scarf.
