Chapel House

Chapel House is a house that was once used as a meeting house and Sunday school. It dates from the late 17th century and was altered and extended in the 19th century. The building is timber framed, partly rebuilt in Flemish bond red brick, featuring a brick front and rendered ends. It has a thatched roof with gabled ends.

The original house has a three-room plan with an axial stack located between the center and left rooms, which heats the center room and creates a lobby entrance. The partition between the center and right-hand rooms has been removed, and in the 19th century, an outshut was built at the back, along with a one-room plan extension added to the left (north) end. The house is two storeys tall with an asymmetrical west front that has a 1:4 window arrangement. On the first floor, there are four 2-light casements, while the ground floor features two 3-light casements with segmental arches, a larger 12-pane fixed-light window on the left, and another similar window in the extension on the left, with a glazed door positioned between them. The main doorway is located to the left of the center and is framed by a 19th-century gabled brick porch with a panelled and glazed door.

The south gable end has a brick stack with set-offs and a 2-light casement on the right, which has cusped heads and glazing bars. At the rear, there is a brick outshut with a pantile roof, containing 2-light casements and a plank door.

Inside, the center and right-hand rooms have been combined into one space, featuring a large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel and a roughly chamfered cross-beam. The small room to the left of the stack has a light scantling chamfered axial beam. On the first floor, the end walls exhibit timber framing, with a stud partition and roughly chamfered tie-beams supporting a clasped purlin roof above.
