Farmhouse And Former Chapel, East Inchmichael, Errol

This building is a farmhouse and former chapel located in East Inchmichael, Errol, likely originating from the 18th century. The chapel and porch were possibly added in 1876, and the first-floor tripartite windows were added in the early 20th century. The structure is a two-storey, three-bay, L-plan farmhouse featuring a discreet former chapel. It is constructed of clay and horsehair harl with dressed ashlar and painted ashlar dressings, while the chapel is made of brick. The entrance features a Gothic-arched door.

On the southeast elevation, the design is symmetrical with a panelled timber door that has a traceried fanlight. There is a window on each side of the porch in the central bay at ground level, with a window above and full-height polygonal-roofed canted tripartite windows in the outer bays. The lower, slightly set-back bay on the outer right is the former chapel, which has a steeply-pitched roof, a door in the centre, and windows in the flanking bays.

The northeast elevation features a small dormer-type traceried window with decorative bargeboarding at the centre of the projecting polygonal apse of the chapel. To the right, there is a tall shouldered brick stack and a window beyond. The recessed face has a window on each floor, with an ancillary building to the right and further windows beyond.

The southwest elevation has a dominant gable on the right with a window at ground level and another window in a set-back lean-to bay on the left. The northwest elevation has an advanced gable on the left with a small window in the gablehead, lower-pitched roof, and lean-to projections. There are additional windows on the right return and in the bay to the right, which also has a further lean-to projection.

The windows throughout the building feature various glazing patterns, including 4-, 8-, and 12-pane and plate glass in timber sash and case windows, as well as traceried and timber casement windows in the chapel. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the stacks are made of coped and shouldered ashlar and harled materials with cans.

Inside the chapel, there is a hammerbeam roof with cross-brace detail and a boarded timber dado. A fireplace was added in the 20th century.

An ancillary building, a two-storey brick dairy, has windows on the ground floor to the northeast and northwest, and on the first floor to the northeast. It is adjacent to the farmhouse on the southwest and features grey slates, a shouldered brick stack, and plain bargeboarding.

The boundary walls consist of rubble with pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers.
