Description

Former Methodist chapel in simple Gothick style with attached accommodation at rear. Stuccoed rubblestone with short hipped slate roof to chapel and gable-ended roof abutting to rear. Chapel has central hip-roofed porch with inner panelled double doors under fanlight with intersecting Gothick glazing bars, flanked by round-arched 25-paned sashes with intersecting Gothick glazing bars to heads; two 30-paned sashes to each return, all windows with slate cills. 2-storey domestic accommodation at rear entered through late C20 panelled door in left return has small 12-paned sash on each floor to this side; central ridge stack. Former hayloft above stable entered through plank door in rear gable end (the building is set into the steep bank behind) has date "1869" scratched into slate lintel.

Virtually all the fittings and furnishings have been stripped out and the former raking floor raised to an even level throughout, but the ribbed and boarded flat ceiling with pendants to ventilators, plaster cornice and plastered walls with boarded dado panelling survive, along with the internal entrance lobby; remains of set fawr enclosure and a couple of pews at opposite end. Former domestic accommodation at rear has fireplace with large slate slab jambs and lintel and staircase with slender turned balusters.
