7/122 Chapel House Farmhouse - - II

Farmhouse, probably 2 builds from early C17 or earlier, with later addition and alteration; now house. Stone base, coursed sandstone rubble walls with quoins (probably re-cladding of original timber-framing), slate roofs with one chimney on the ridge and another at rear left corner of wing. Two-bay range with central baffle-entry, and projecting 2-bay crosswing on the left (roof ridges not joined). Two storeys; front wall of 1st bay has been brought forward flush with gable of wing and roof carried down over it, making a long porch in the re-entrant: this has a doorway to the right with a cambered lintel undercut as a shallow Tudor arch, and a square window with a hoodmould; 2nd bay has one altered window each floor, the upper with a hoodmould; gable of wing has quoins at both corners, one window each floor (the upper very small), and 45° pitched roof (fragment of moulded coping at rear); in other walls formerly mullioned windows have been mostly altered, but a small firewindow remains at junction of 1st and 2nd bays; rear has 2 doors, one with modern square porch. Interior: substantial timber-framing, principally an almost intact original outer wall to the 1st bay, with post, rails, braces to wallplate (which is c.½ metre below present roof), and some studs with secondary rails, wattle and daub infill remaining in some panels; similar timber-framed partition wall to wing appears earlier, has similarly infilled panels, the lower with exposed wattle; original baffle-entry now blocked, but inglenook remains with moulded heckpost and triangular peephole in boarded panel, small-chamfered bressummer (undercut at rear end), the latter carrying chamfered beams set on edge. Roof of crosswing has truss with collar, purlins resting on backs of principals.
