Description
Chapel Cottage is a pair of houses dating from the 17th or early 18th century. The building is roughcast with a slate roof and has two storeys with five bays. The first bay projects forward, while the second, fourth, and fifth bays feature jettied first floors, all under straight eaves that are bracketed to the third bay. Most of the windows have small-paned fixed glazing with upper opening lights. The first bay includes a window with bull's eye panes and paired windows on the first floor. The second bay has an entrance with a plain casement window to the right. The third bay has a plain casement on the ground floor but no window on the first floor. The fourth bay features an entrance with a part-glazed six-panel door and paired windows above. There is an end lateral stack, and the right return has a two-storey canted bay window, which is sashed with vertical glazing bars and horns, topped with a hipped roof. A Methodist chapel adjoins the building on the right.
