Description
The Old Chapel, originally a chapel and later a museum, is now converted to residential use. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The structure includes a plinth and chamfered quoins.
The central entrance has a double board door that has been inserted into a former doorcase, which features a blind round arch with rusticated voussoirs. On either side of the door are four-pane sash windows with stone sills and flat arches that also have similar voussoirs. On the first floor, there is a central tablet with a moulded architrave, while the outer bays contain round-arched sash windows with radiating glazing bars; the lower panes of these windows are blocked, and they also have stone sills. The building is supported by gutter brackets and has a hipped roof.
