Description

Chapel House Farm House is a building that may date back to the 15th or 16th century, originally constructed as a cruck house. The structure was later modified, with the roof and walls raised and an additional range added at right angles, likely in the late 18th or early 19th century.

The exterior features a sub-medieval cruck-framed dwelling that now serves as a cross-wing to a late 18th or early 19th century brick and timber-framed house. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall. The elevation facing the yard is primarily brick, with a central section of square-panelled timber framing made from very light scantling and brick nogging. There are three tripartite casement windows on each floor and two entrances: one to the left and another off-centre to the right. A low brick-built outbuilding is attached to the left side. The rear of the house has a projecting range to the right, where a full-height cruck truss is visible in the gable end. The timber framing, also of very light scantling, extends from the outer faces of the cruck blades on each side, creating higher walls and a steeper roof pitch.

The interior was not accessible during the 1996 survey but is reported to be in a state of partial collapse. This building is listed as a surviving example of a cruck house with later extensions that are of interest.
