Description

The Village Hall, built in 1895, is accompanied by an attached house that was originally a billiard room constructed in 1914 and remodelled into a house in 1979. The building is made of squared tooled stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof adorned with orange tile openwork cresting. The Village Hall has a gable end facing the street, with a projecting porch that includes boarded double doors with leafy hinges set under a segmental-pointed arch. The porch is topped with a coped gable featuring moulded kneelers and a globe finial, and there is a small window on each side. The main gable displays ornamental bargeboards with a finial and a braced pendant. On the left side of the hall, there are four large cross windows, with the lower part on the left featuring a two-light window and a stepped-and-corniced end stack.

To the right is the house, which has one and a half storeys and two bays. It features a central projecting porch with a boarded door flanked by small windows, and a coped gable with moulded kneelers and a globe finial. The cross windows have their upper parts blocked, and below them are 1979 gabled dormers with two-light windows that match the style of the building.

All openings are framed with chamfered or stop-chamfered surrounds, and all windows are iron-framed latticed casements with lozenge-shaped crossing panes. The house is included in the listing for its group value.
