Description
Chapel Close Farm is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. It was formerly known as Orchard Farm. The farmhouse is constructed of square-panelled timber framing with coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring large dressed stone quoins. It has a slate roof and an ashlar stack. The building is rectangular in plan, with a wash-house extension to the north gable end. A later lean-to extension to the rear is not of particular interest.
The farmhouse is a single-storey building with an attic, and includes a single-storey wash-house extension. The east front has two gabled sections. It features a 20th-century two-light casement with glazing bars and a 9-pane sash window on the ground floor, both with glazing bars. There are also 20th-century three-light casements with leaded panes in each gable, and a small attic window with a shutter towards the apex of the left-hand gable. A 19th-century plank door is positioned off-centre to the left. A projecting gable-end stack is visible. The timber framing to the rear is largely hidden by a later extension.
Inside the principal downstairs room, there is some reused 17th-century panelling reportedly taken from a former nearby chapel. The room includes a spine beam with moulded stops, joists with moulded stops, and an open fireplace with a bressumer, which is now blocked. Curved wind bracing is visible in the roof.
