CAMELFORD CHAPEL STREET (west side), Camelford No. 2

GV II

House. Circa early C17 and mid C19. Rendered stucco. Slate roof with gable ends, slightly lower slate roof on right and gable end to rear wing on right. Rendered brick stack on left hand gable end and rendered axial stack which backs onto the right hand side of the passage.

Plan: House incorporates the probable inner room of the earlier house on right (qv 34 Market Place) heated originally by an end stack with a circa C18 stair projection to rear. In circa mid C19 No.2 Chapel Street to the left was built with a two-room double depth plan and wide through passage on right with a stair in a shallow projection to the rear at the right hand side of the passage. Possibly in the C20 the inner room of the earlier range on right was incorporated as part of No. 2 Chapel Street, the right hand room heated by an axial stack which backs on the right hand side of the passage. Possibly contemporary with this, the lower stage of the stair in the circa C18 stair projection was removed to form a third room.

Two storeys, attic and basement. Regular 2:1 window front. Circa mid C19 range on left has a semi-circular headed window on left with hornless sash and radiating glazing bars and a C19 six-panel door on right in C19 doorcase with fanlight. Two C19 four-pane sashes on first floor. To right, the front wall of the earlier range has been partly rebuilt with a tripartite sash on the ground floor and a four-pane sash above.

Interior: In basement of right hand earlier range are two blocked openings, one with a circa early C17 two-light mullion window with mortices for stanchion bars (removed). The circa C18 roof above the rear wing of the C18 stair projection has two trusses which have been partly renewed but appear to have had principals halved, lapped and pegged at apices and the collars lapped and pegged onto the face of the principals.
