Description
Chapel Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located on Bredfield Road. It features a timber frame that is rendered and colourwashed, topped with a plain tiled roof that was originally thatched. The building has two storeys and follows a three-cell baffle-entry plan with three bays.
On the entrance front, there is a gabled single-storey porch from the 20th century to the left of centre. To the left of the porch, there is a three-light casement window with a cambered head, and to the right, there are two similar windows. The first floor has three 19th-century three-light casement windows. A ridge stack is positioned above the porch. The right gable wall is blank and has a two-storey flat-roofed 20th-century addition with a two-light metal-framed window. The left gable end features a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light casement window with a cambered head on the first floor.
At the rear, there is a 20th-century projection on the left with a single-storey porch in the re-entrant angle. The rear of the 17th-century range is mostly windowless, except for a single-light first-floor window to the right, located below the chimney, and a two-light window on the first floor.
Inside, the ground floor has chamfered and end-stopped ceiling beams, along with similarly moulded rafters. The walls display exposed studding with bracing. One outer room on the ground floor features a chamfered fireplace bressumer. Additionally, there are two late-17th-century brackets in one first-floor bedroom, decorated with acanthus leaves and roundels, which were likely brought from another location.
