Chapel Farmhouse

Chapel Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 15th century on the left side and the mid 16th century for the main range, with alterations made in the later 17th century. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, with the framing visible on the tile facade of the main range, and has a pantiled roof. The earlier section features a three-bay former open hall house that includes a base cruck open truss and part of another base cruck truss. This section extends to the internal stack, while the area immediately to the right of the stack has been raised and re-roofed at a later date, and it was last used as a dairy.

The farmhouse has some diamond-mullioned windows and evidence of additional windows. The roof structure remains intact except for the altered end, featuring a coupled rafter roof that is smoke-blackened throughout. Above the service end, there is a short section of queen post construction, likely related to the smoke gablet above. There is a two-cell mid 16th-century addition, with the first floor jettied along the entire facade, although the right-hand end is obscured by a 19th-century lean-to addition. The bressummer displays remnants of embattled ornament.

Various 18th-century casement windows with diamond and square-leaded panes are present, along with inserted 17th-century mullion windows on either side of the doorway, one of which is now blocked. On the first floor, there are mortices for two former bracketed bow windows and a blocked doorway at the extreme left. The entry features a cross-passage with a boarded door. There are two 17th-century gabled dormers and a well-preserved 17th-century buttressed external stack on the left gable end. The ground floor rooms have exposed joists, and some exposed framing is visible, mainly on the first floor. The later 17th-century alterations included new staircases and re-roofing.
