Description

Chapel Leigh Farm House is a 17th-century farmhouse located in Lydeard St Lawrence. The building features painted random rubble walls and a slate roof, with brick stacks at the gable ends and to the left of the entrance. It has a three-cell layout with no cross passage and stands two stories tall. The long facade displays irregular window arrangements, including two three-light windows at the center of the first floor, late 20th-century pivotal windows to the right, and a two-light window to the left. On the ground floor, there is a two-light window to the right of a gabled wooden porch, and to the left are 17th-century ovolo moulded three-light mullioned windows, with a mid-20th-century lean-to addition beyond.

Inside, the room at the north end features an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel and spiral steps to the left. The room has moulded transverse beams, although one beam nearest the fireplace is not moulded on that face. The center room is said to contain remnants of a four-panelled compartment ceiling.
