Description

Chapel Farmhouse is a farmhouse that features whitewashed roughcast walls, a slate roof, and three brick chimneys. It is one and a half storeys high and was originally designed with eaves dormers on the upper floor. In the early 20th century, the building was altered by raising the gable on the left side and replacing all the front windows with triple casements that include top-lights.

The left side of the house has a broad, low-pitched gable with two windows situated above a ground floor window and door, with another similar window to the right of the door. The door is a four-panel design located in a gabled open porch supported by two painted wood round posts, featuring broad wave-edged painted bargeboards. To the right of the ridge stack, there are two gabled dormers at the eaves, each with a pair of casement windows, above a window that was previously a door, and another three-light window like those on the front. The south end wall is blank.

At the rear, there is a pair of casement windows on the right, followed by a triple window similar to those on the front, and a single-storey addition with a dormer above, a rear door, and a triple casement window, along with a small pair of casement windows to the left of the addition. The north end gable has two 20th-century upper windows.

The interior has a two-room plan. The kitchen at the north end features solid oak winding stairs to the right of the fireplace, a triangular-headed niche in the lintel, and one unmoulded beam. A single flight of stairs runs up the other side of the partition at the lower end of the kitchen. There is a half-beam by the stairs with a hollow chamfer, while the next two beams are hollow-moulded with stepped hollow stops. At the back of the house, beneath the first of these beams, there is a fine heavy oak chamfered doorway with a Tudor arched head. The lower end room has another similar beam. The south end fireplace is modern. The roof has been altered, featuring one curved blade that is not obviously a cruck, possibly a straight blade that has been hacked back, along with a heavy south end truss and some heavy purlins.
