Hyde Away House And Walls To North And South Of Pathway Between Maiden Street And East Of House

Hyde-Away House, formerly a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, was built in 1837 and remodelled, likely internally, around 1890. Walls flank a pathway leading from Maiden Street to the house, and are likely contemporary with the chapel's construction. The house is built from stone rubble with dressings of polyphant stone, and has a hipped slate roof. The cob walls rest on a stone plinth and have slate coping. It is rectangular in plan and built in a Gothick style, with two windows facing the front and two on each side. The symmetrical front elevation features a central two-leaf front door within a pointed stone arch with a keystone. Each door leaf is divided into nine panels, with some 19th-century stained glass in the upper panels. The two pointed windows, originally lighting a gallery, also have keystones above their arches. The three-light transomed pointed timber windows have intersecting glazing bars in the head. The interior was not inspected. The walls on either side of the pathway are included for group value.
