Description

5 Chapel Street in Aberfeldy is a building from the earlier to mid 19th century. It is a two-storey and attic structure with a rectangular plan, featuring three bays. The exterior is made of chlorite-slate rubble, with large quoins, projecting cills, and slab lintels.

The east elevation facing Chapel Street has two adjacent timber doors at the center and left on the ground floor, with a window to the outer left and another window to the right. The first floor has three evenly spaced windows, and there are dormer windows breaking the eaves over the outer bays.

The north elevation, which faces the pend, features a gabled design with a small window to the left in the gablehead.

On the west elevation, which is the rear facing the courtyard, there is a part-glazed timber door to the right on the ground floor and a window to the left, along with another window at the center of the first floor that abuts the eaves.

The north elevation, which serves as the entrance to the courtyard, has a modern door at the center and a boarded timber door to the left. There are windows in the outer bays on each floor, with those on the first floor breaking the eaves into dormerheads.

The east elevation, also part of the entrance to the courtyard, has a timber door to the left on the ground floor and a window to each floor on the right, with the first-floor window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead.

The west elevation has four irregularly placed windows on the ground floor, a canted outer left angle, and another window in the gablehead to the outer right, which abuts the rear of the house to the south.

The building features some four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, as well as top-opening timber windows. There is modern glazing on the ground right and first floor of the east elevation facing Chapel Street. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are coped squared rubble stacks. The building also has cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers, guttering, and fixings on the east elevation facing Chapel Street.
