Full Description

Chypleighs is an early 19th century cottage, roughcast over rubble and possibly adapted from an earlier two-cell and cross-passage plan dwelling with stone stacks at either end. There are pointed arch openings; the windows are casements with divided tracery heads, and the door of vertical plank construction. [2] The building was visited in February 2012 as part of the rapid condition survey of Exmoor's Listed Buildings 2012-13. It received a BAR score of 6. [3] A heritage statement was completed to support listed building consent for proposed alterations to Chypleighs, a Grade II Listed house. The statement includes a review of historic mapping associated with the site and its planning history. The house is shown on a map of Dulverton dating to 1790, which suggests that at this time, it was of single cell width. A smaller building to the west was at one time a brewery before it was incorporated into the house in 1990-91. The house was extended by the time the Tithe Map (1838) was surveyed. The house may have originated as a cross passage property with single cell rooms on either side. [4]
