Description

Chapel Farm Cottage is a mid-19th century pair of houses that have been converted into a single dwelling. The building features red brick, flint, and ashlar materials that were reused from a former chapel on the site. The garden front has planted timber-framing with brick infill on the first floor. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have end and center ridge stacks made of brick.

The exterior includes a two-storey, four-bay entrance front with plank doors at each end. The door on the right is accompanied by a late 20th-century porch. The windows on both floors are 1-light casements. The garden front also has two storeys and four bays, with the two center bays forming a full-height projection that features jettied first-floor paired half-hipped gables. The center bays have 3-light casements on the ground floor and 2-light casements on the first floor, while the outer bays each have one 2-light casement on both floors.

Inside, there are some re-used 16th-century bridging beams and later re-used timbers.
