Cadw notes the "eccentric" relationship" of the two wings of the house and suggests this is evidence that the house was reconstructed from earlier buildings, probably a 14th-century manor house. The architectural historian John Newman notes the "historically" important existence of a raised cruck truss in the hall of the house which he suggests places it as a transitional building between the traditional, single-level, Welsh hall house and later, storeyed, buildings. What stands today represents two construction periods of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with some 19th-century reconstruction. The National Trust suggests that Chapel Farm may have operated as the home farm for the Clytha Park Estate. Owned by the Jones family from the 18th century, it remains a private residence.
