Description
No. 40 Chapel Street is a small house, attached to the former Golden Lion Inn, and was disused at the time of the survey in 1992. It likely served as a staff cottage and features a cartway entrance that leads to the rear of the inn and other houses. The building dates from around 1840, although it may have an earlier core. It is one of only two houses in Fore Street that are positioned end-on to the road. The exterior is rendered, with the left return wall facing the cartway made of painted brick. The roof is covered with slate and gabled at the ends where it connects to other buildings, featuring a rear centre stack with a rendered brick shaft.
The house has a double-depth plan and is one room wide, standing two storeys tall. The front is asymmetrical with two windows, and the roof gables towards the front, showcasing pierced wavy bargeboards and a pendant. The entrance is a recessed, half-glazed, panelled timber front door located to the right, with a segmental-headed corbelled cartway to the left. There is one ground-floor and two first-floor 12-pane horned sash windows. The interior was not inspected. The house is included for its group value with the adjacent buildings.
