This farmhouse, built in the first half of the 18th century, takes its name from the owner, Jacques Chappaley, who appears on the 1756 plans. The wooden structure is longitudinal, with a longer façade on the street side than on the south-facing side. It has a magnificent panelled gable with diamond-shaped decoration on the spandrel panels, and is pierced by two axes of grouped windows (2+4+3) typical of Charming farmhouses, brightly lit for home lace-making or plaiting straw. The interior boasts a very fine painted tiled stove, probably from Bull, dating from the first quarter of the 19th century.

The plot has a wall protecting the immediate approach to the dwelling from livestock grazing, hence its name of ‘clos’, characteristic of the farms of wealthy peasant-breeders. The farmhouse is therefore at the rear, overlooking the street. The cheese cellars on the ground floor are half-buried, with two barred openings to protect the precious wheels of Gruyère cheese.
