Chapel Cottages

Chapel Cottages is a house, now a row of houses, dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, with an early 19th-century addition. The building is timber-framed, with the ground floor constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring occasional grey headers, and the first floor is tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high on a brick plinth. The roof is hipped with a gablet on the left side. There are multiple brick stacks, including one towards the left end, one at the rear towards the right end, and one at the right end. The windows are irregularly arranged, featuring four 19th-century three-light casements. There is a plain door to No. 4 located beneath the stack, and a panelled door to Nos. 2 and 3, which are now combined into one house, towards the right end. An early 19th-century two-storey addition is located at the right end, separately roofed at right angles to the road, made of red brick with a plain tile roof. This addition has one glazing-bar sash window in an open box on the first floor and a panelled door with a plain hood on shaped brackets, accessed by 13 gradually curved steps. There is a ground floor passage between the main range and the addition. The interior features partially exposed timbers and traces of an inglenook, although only part of it has been inspected.
