Description
The former Presbyterian Church, now a joiner's shop, was built in 1800. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays. The outer bays contain 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor, while the smaller windows above are now boarded up. The central bays have full-height, 24-pane, round-headed windows with intersecting glazing bars, all set within raised stone surrounds. The roof is high, broad, and steeply pitched with a gabled design.
On the entry side, there are four bays on the ground floor, with doorways located in the outer bays. The left doorway has been replaced by a 20th-century sliding door. The first floor has three boarded windows. In the center, there is a small moulded panel inscribed with "REBUILT ANNO DOMINI 1800 REV D WILSON."
