2/11 Chapel Farmhouse 25.10.51 - II
Farmhouse. Late C15 to left; mid C16 main range, altered in later C17. Timber framed and plastered, the framing exposed on tile facade of the main range; pantiled roof. The earlier part comprises a 3-bay former open hall house with a base cruck open truss and part of one other base cruck truss (cf. Venn's Farmhouse, Earl Stonham). This part extends as far as the internal stack, the part immediately to the right of the stack having been raised and re-roofed at a later date. It was last used as a dairy. There are some diamond-mullioned windows and evidence for others. The roof structure is intact except at the altered end: coupled rafter roof, smoke-blackened throughout; over the service end is a short section of queen post construction, probably associated with the smoke gablet above. 2-cell mid C16 addition. The first floor is jettied along the whole of the facade, the right hand end obscured by a C19 lean-to addition; the bressummer has remains of embattled ornament. Various mostly C18 casement windows with diamond and square-leaded panes; to either side of the doorway are inserted C17 mullion windows, with another now blocked; on the first floor there are mortices for 2 former bracketed bow windows and at the extreme left a blocked doorway. Cross-passage entry with boarded door. 2 C17 gabled dormers. Good C17 buttressed external stack on left hand gable end. Exposed joists to all ground floor rooms; some exposed framing, mainly on the first floor. The later C17 alterations included new staircases and re-roofing.
