Description
Chapel Farmhouse and the adjoining outbuilding, located in Georgeham, are a farmhouse and smithy that have been converted into a house and outbuilding. The farmhouse likely dates from the 17th century and was extended at the rear in the 20th century, while the outbuilding is from the 18th century. The structure is built from coursed rubble, with some possible cob on the upper storey, which is whitewashed and rendered. It features a half-hipped thatch roof with a capped rubble stack at the right end and a rendered lateral hall stack at the front, which has a shallow projecting bread oven, both of which have been heightened in brick. The outbuilding has a pantiled roof and a lateral brick stack on the left side.
The farmhouse has a three-cell through-passage plan, although a straight joint in the masonry to the right of the hall window suggests that the upper end may have been rebuilt, extended, or is a later addition. There is a large 20th-century addition to the rear and to each end of the farmhouse. The outbuilding is positioned at right angles to the left end of the main range. The house is two storeys high and features a three-window range of 18th and 19th-century three-light casements. The window above the canopy has a 12-paned centre light with six panes on each side, while the windows to the right have eight panes per light.
There is an off-centre doorway at the lower end with a slated lean-to canopy and a 20th-century plank door located at the angle of the stack projection. This section also includes a 17th-century five-light mullion window, with one of the mullions replaced in metal. At the upper end, there is an 18th or 19th-century tripartite hornless sash window with six over six panes and sidelights under a timber lintel, along with two additional sashes to the right, which have eight over eight panes. The outbuilding features a pantiled outshut to the right side, with a two-light opening that has a plank door above a two-light window, each with six panes, located at the street gable end. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
