Description
Chapel House is an earlier/mid 19th century house of asymmetrical design, originally comprising two storeys and three bays. The construction is of all coursed, pinned rubble with tooled rubble dressings. The front door is centrally positioned on the south elevation but is masked by a later gabled timber porch. A gabled bay projects to the west. Some first-floor windows break the wallhead beneath deep eaves gablets. The windows are predominantly casements with horizontal glazing, featuring two and three lights. The roof is slated, with soffitted eaves, and includes end and ridge stacks. A range of outbuildings extends to the east, incorporating a laundry. Chapel House formerly served as a Presbytery.
