Description
The Gyffin Community Centre is a former church hall built in the Arts and Crafts style. It is a single-storey building with whitened pebble-dashed brick walls resting on a rubble-stone plinth, topped by a slate roof featuring a chevron pattern of lighter slates. A central turret with a snuffer top sits over a diamond-shaped base, all made of banded slates. The building faces north and includes a main range with a gabled bay on the left side, as well as a lower gabled north wing that has a brick stack. All gables are slate-hung above the window level.
The entrance is located in the left side wall of the north wing, accessible via slate steps with a stone parapet. It features double doors, which have been modified with boarding added to the original panel doors, set in a full-height broadly chamfered opening. The gable end of the north wing has a small-pane window with a top-hung casement. To the left, the gabled bay of the main range features a similar window. On the right side of the wing, there is a small outshut with a boarded door and a round-headed louvered opening on the side wall.
The west gable end of the main range includes a large small-pane window with casements. The east end wall has a central buttress that is offset. The south wall features a pebble-dashed lean-to with a boarded door on its right side, flanked by narrow windows in the main range. The wide gabled bay to the right has a large small-pane window with casements.
Inside the main range, there is a dado of glazed brick and tile, along with original cupboard doors on the north side. The centre features original folding half-glazed panel doors, with small-pane glazing above a beam. Roof trusses are concealed by a plasterboard ceiling on the underside of the roof.
