Description

Chapel House and Demarca are houses with attached stone slab fences. Chapel House dates from the late 18th to early 19th century and is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with a stone slate roof and brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has two bays. It features two-light wooden casements with stone wedge lintels; the ground floor window on the right was originally wider but now has a brick jamb. A central 20th-century four-panelled door is set within a rendered surround and has a stone hood in the form of an open pediment supported by shaped scroll brackets. A small attic window is set into the left gable.

Demarca, attached to the right, dates from the late 18th century but was substantially refurbished in the 20th century. It is also built of coursed rubble limestone with a stone slate roof and rubble stone chimneys. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The windows are 20th-century wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars and concrete lintels. A 20th-century half-glazed door and a left-hand window are enclosed by a 20th-century glazed lean-to porch. A small rubble stone lean-to projects to the left, with a 20th-century single light facing forward.

The front gardens of both houses are enclosed, except on the east side, by early 19th-century fences made of large rectangular limestone slabs, standing upright to a height of approximately one metre.
