Description
Ty'r Hen Gapel is a former manse that stands two storeys high with an attic. It is constructed of grey stone and features a slate roof. The building has a two-window front, with hornless sash windows: 16-pane on the ground floor, 12-pane on the first floor, and 10-pane on the second floor. The attic level has shallow windows, while the first floor includes camber-headed windows. On the ground floor, there is a camber-headed window to the right and a cambered doorway with a modern boarded door, which has a 2-pane overlight above it. The rear of the house features tall windows on both the right and left sides, with a single window on each floor.
To the left of the manse is a former stable and service block that has been recently restored. The interior of the building was not inspected during the survey.
