Description
Chapel Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed, with sections that are partly plastered and partly rendered with pebbledash. The roof is thatched, and the building has two storeys plus an attic. It follows a two-cell lobby-entrance layout and features two windows with large-paned casements from the 20th century. The front entrance has a 19th-century four-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed, and is sheltered by a gabled timber trellis porch. Inside, there is an internal axial stack, and the exposed framing reveals plain ground floor joists. The newel stairs have been removed. There is a single-storey shed, tarred and weatherboarded, attached to the right gable end, along with a flat-roofed rear addition from the mid-20th century.
