Chapel Farmhouse

Chapel Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 18th century, originally built as a three-bay house and later extended by one bay in the 19th century, with additional modifications made to the rear in the 20th century. The outbuildings attached to the north gable are not considered of special interest. The farmhouse is constructed from local lias stone, which is cut, squared, and laid in random courses, and it has been colour washed. The roof is thatched with plain gables, while the bay added in the 19th century features triple roll clay tiles and a stepped coped gable made of Hamstone. There are brick chimney stacks at both ends of the 18th-century building.

The front elevation has two storeys and four bays, with a central doorway that features a 20th-century gabled porch with a tiled roof and rustic supports. On either side of the doorway are 20th-century casement windows. The first floor has three 3-light casement windows from the early 19th century, located under the eaves within the original window openings. The 19th-century bay to the left has windows on both floors, including a small leaded casement on the first floor and a 20th-century steel window below. At the rear, there is a single-storey range with a catslide roof covered in corrugated sheeting.

Inside, a timber-framed partition made of thin scantling and brick infill divides the ground floor into two rooms. The right-hand room features an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and simple run-out stops, along with a bread oven. The other room, originally the living room, has a 20th-century tiled fireplace. On the first floor, there is an 18th-century plank and muntin partition wall. The 19th-century bay has a single purlin roof structure with exposed rafters and angled struts, although the main roof could not be inspected.

Chapel Farmhouse is a good example of an 18th-century yeoman's farmhouse, with its 19th-century extension and a significant amount of original character and internal features still intact.
