Description
The Old Chapel is a former Bible Christian chapel, built in 1829 and later used as a Methodist chapel, before its conversion into a dwelling in the late 1970s. A late 20th-century flat-roofed extension and an adjoining 19th-century hipped-roof former outbuilding to the west are excluded from the listing.
The building is constructed from granite stone rubble, partly white-washed and rendered, with a slate and red-clay tile roof. It has a rectangular footprint, running east to west, linked to a small square building to the west.
The south elevation features one round-headed window opening, while the north elevation has two rectangular window openings. A late 20th-century lean-to is located at the east end, which served as the original entrance. The west end has two small, straight-headed windows set under the eaves. All windows are modern uPVC replacements. The roof is a hipped slate construction. A small, architecturally modest late 20th-century flat-roofed extension, containing the modern entrance, links the chapel to a significantly altered 19th-century former outbuilding to the west; these structures are not included in the listing.
Inside, the chapel retains its plain plaster walls and shaped ceiling. The 20th-century lean-to is accessed through the partially blocked former chapel entrance. It is noted that internal partitions, fixtures and fittings arising from the late 20th-century domestic conversion do not possess special architectural or historic interest.
