Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
A farmhouse possibly dating to 16th or 17th century and retaining some original historic features, including an early arched doorway. Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795. The crosses on both chamfer stops suggest a pre-Reformation date.
May relate to a nearby field called Clos de la Chapelle, which suggests a chapel may have stood there. [1]
The front elevation has been altered, the roof raised and the windows enlarged so it is hard to determine the exact age of the house, but thought to be early 16th century origins. Five-bay, two-storey house (now called 3 Haute Vue).
Uprights on ground and first floor windows indicate where the windows have been heightened and lowered. Chamfered stone arch doorway at centre, with rare example of crosses on both chamfer stops. Retains 18th century fireplaces and oak beams.
Old Jersey Houses
A brief entry in Volume 1 refers to the 'chapelle' field and notes that the facade has been altered.
