Description

The former Baptist Chapel, dated 1850, is now used as a workshop. It is constructed from ashlar Doulting stone and features a moulded cornice along the front of its coped gable. The building has a Welsh slate roof that is hipped at the rear. It is a single-storey structure with a two-window front and a two-window side, all of which have pointed arches. The front windows are adorned with drip-moulds and are sash windows with intersecting glazing bars. At the time of the survey, the left-hand window on the front had been replaced by an external horizontal sliding door. An ornamented plaque on the front gable is incised with "DEO SACRUM 1850".
