Chapel Farmhouse, Outbuilding Adjoining At North And Walls Adjoining At West And East

Chapel Farmhouse is a farmhouse with an outbuilding adjoining to the north and walls on the west and east. It was formerly one property with Chapel House and dates from around the 1860s. The building is constructed of stone rubble with polychromatic stone and brick dressings, topped with slate roofs. It features one projecting stone stack with a tumbled brick shaft, along with other brick shafts on the ridges. The plan is asymmetrical, consisting of two connected ranges that form an L shape around an inner courtyard, which is accessed through a two-centred archway in the wall to the east. There is a further wall projecting to the west of the front that has a similar archway.

The design is in a free Gothic vernacular style, characterized by deep hipped roofs and attractive polychromatic detailing. The front has an asymmetrical two-window arrangement, with the roof hipped at the left end; the right end adjoins Chapel House. The front left is slightly advanced under a separate hipped roof. A long 20th-century porch is present under a sloping slate roof. The ground floor window on the left is a two-light casement set in a segmental recess below a segmental arch, with six panes per light and upper lights canted to create a Gothic appearance. The first-floor window on the left is a three-light casement, also with six panes per light and similar upper panes. The right side features a large gabled dormer with a two-light casement set in a pointed arch recess with a blind tympanum, and decorative brickwork on the gable.

Projecting from the front left is a tall stone wall with a brick archway featuring a keystone, and this wall has stone and brick capping. A similar wall with an archway leading into the inner courtyard to the east has three courses of brick capping. There is a single-storey outbuilding with a gabled end adjoining to the north, which forms part of the inner courtyard wall. The interior has not been inspected. Chapel Farm was formerly used as service rooms and stables for Chapel House, where the Reverend R S Hawker, a poet, antiquary, and vicar of Morwenstow, met his second wife.
