Description
No. 1 and the attached former chapel to the right is a house and workshop, built in 1846 by William Cobbe. It was part of the Agapemone for Reverend H. J. Prince, a community that disbanded in 1958. The building features random rubble construction with slate roofs, some coped verges, and two tall brick stacks alongside an ashlar stack. The L-shaped frontage includes the house on the left, designed in Tudoresque style, which is two storeys high with three bays. Each side has a crenellated canted two-storey ashlar bay window with one large light flanked by three smaller lights on each floor. Between the bays is a freestone panel with a shield. The central door opening has a chamfered dressed stone surround with a stopped label, French windows, and a transom light.
The chapel is positioned at right angles to the house and is buttressed, featuring lancet windows with casements and leaded lights. There is a door opening to the roadside within a single-storey porch that has diagonal buttresses terminating in pinnacles, a gable with a finial, and a moulded four-centred arch door opening with paired studded doors and a fanlight containing stained glass. Additionally, there is another door opening in the angle between the house and chapel, which is an embattled single-storey porch with buttresses and a four-centred arch door opening in a moulded surround, leading to paired half-glazed doors and a transom light. A stone lion relief is set above this door. The Agapemone gained notoriety in the late 19th century due to the activities and claims of Reverend H. J. Prince, who considered himself a messiah.
