Description
The former Congregational Church, now a house, is likely from the 18th century, although it was founded in 1683. The building features random red sandstone rubble walls with raised quoins and a Welsh slate roof. It is a single-storey structure with four bays. There are four round-headed lancet windows that have been fitted with 20th-century sashes that include glazing bars, although the heads of the windows are blocked. To the right, there is a side entrance that has a 20th-century door set within the original round arch.
