Chapel House

Chapel House is a late 16th-century house, subsequently divided into two dwellings, located on The Street, Redgrave. The building has undergone alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, now plastered, and has a thatched roof. Originally, the house comprised three rooms arranged in a cross-entry plan. It is one storey in height with an attic. The original cross-entry and later lobby entry positions are marked by 19th-century vertically panelled architraved doors, each with a hoodboard and hoodmould. There are three-light casement windows with metal glazing bars, hoodboards, and hoodmoulds. Two raking pantiled dormers, dating to the 17th century, are visible in the hall and parlour chambers, each with a lattice-leaded three-light metal frame casement. A ridge stack, rebuilt at the cap, is situated to the right of centre, between the hall and parlour. A 20th-century lean-to outshut is present at the left end. A single early lattice-leaded attic light with a hoodboard, exposed plates, and purlins are found at the right end, along with bargeboards. The rear of the property features a cross-entry door matching the front, a small clay lump and pantiled lean-to outshut behind the hall, and a 17th-century external kitchen stack with single offsets tapering to a narrow cap. Inside, the house features stop-chamfered axial binding beams, mid-rails, straight and reverse cranked arched braces in the walling, and arched braces to tie beams, which have been largely removed. The hall chamber contains opposed jointed cruck blades which continue from posts up to the collar.
