Chapel Farmhouse

Chapel Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with a late 19th-century addition to the north. It is constructed of dressed limestone and has a thatched roof with ashlar stacks featuring moulded cappings and coped verges. The building is arranged in a T-shape. The main south-facing front is two storeys high and has a four-window arrangement. A 19th-century half-glazed door is centrally positioned, with a flat wooden hood above. Flanking the door are a three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement and a 19th-century three-light recessed mullioned casement with cast iron lights set within a 19th-century extension. The first floor has four three-light mullioned casements and one smaller casement. A doorway has been inserted into the left return, giving access to a basement. The rear of the original range has a four-panelled door and a two-light casement to the right of the wing, along with a two-light mullioned casement and a three-light wooden casement to the first floor. The original wing on the north side retains one 17th-century mullioned casement, while the rest have been renewed in the 19th century. The two-bay north range, added in the 19th century, features a planked door and three-light and two-light mullioned windows with latticed cast iron casements, over a lean-to canopy at ground floor level. The interior includes a basement under the southern end, containing an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel on stone jambs. A drawing room above the basement has a plank and muntin partition against a through passage, some reset wainscot panelling, and chamfered beams with stepped stops. The ground floor has planked doors with semi-circular heads. A proposal to remove the thatched roof and replace it with tiles was made in August 1986.
