Description
Chapel Farmhouse and The Cruck House is a farmhouse with an attached dairy and barn, now serving as a house and teahouse. It dates from the early 18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone and features a pantile roof. Originally, it had a 2-cell, gable-entry layout, with a 19th-century dairy extension and a four-bay upper cruck barn to the right.
The front is two stories high with four windows, and there is a single-storey extension. A panelled door is located in a 19th-century gabled porch to the left of centre. To the right, there is a 16-pane sash window, while the others are horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars, all featuring plain lintels. The gable wall to the left has a 20th-century door set in the original doorway, with a fire window to the right. Above the doorway, there is a sundial carved into the stone. At the right end of the barn, there is a blocked segmental cart-arch. The building has coped gables and plain kneelers, and the steeply-pitched roof has end stacks on the original two-cell house.
Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace in the house room, complete with a spice cupboard and salt box. The parlour features a stone fireplace with a stone lintel and quoined jambs.
