Chapel Hill Farmhouse

II
Farmhouse. Perhaps C17 in origin, enlarged and altered in C19. Slobbered
uncoursed granite rubble, with some brick, roofs of slurried slate and slate on 2
levels. Plan consisting of 3 elements, on an east-west axis: the earliest is the
western half, mostly occupied by an integral byre with outshuts, entered through
the west gable wall, with a short domestic bay linked to the C19 additions; these
have a square plan formed by two 2-unit elements built back-to-back, with a
small wing attached at right-angles to the north-east corner. The western half is
of 2 low storeys; the west gable wall with its outshuts is very wide and has 3
square-headed doorways at ground floor (one offset left of centre and one to
each outshut), and a flight of 7 stone steps at right-angles leading to a round-
headed loft doorway offset to the right; on the north side the outshut (which
appears to be an addition) covers only the byre, the domestic bay to the right
has a doorway under a primitive slab porch with a water tank on top, one
altered window on each floor to the left, and a short tapered chimney on the
ridge; the larger outshut on the south side has a catslide roof carried down to a
low level, a doorway in line with the domestic bay, and a small horizontal 3-
pane fixed window to the right. The C19 additions are of 2 higher storeys and
each of 2 bays; that on the south side has a gabled porch offset left, 2 windows
on each floor, sashed without glazing bars, and gable chimneys, that on the left
square with a tapered cap; that on the north side has a doorway to the 2nd bay,
two 4-pane sashes on each floor, and gable chimneys. The small single-storey
wing attached to the left corner is of brick, has a doorway at the junction, a
large round-headed window to the left, a smaller one in the gable wall, and a
chimney at the rear left corner. Interior not inspected. Unoccupied at time of
survey (1988).
