Description
The Hall, constructed around 1904 by Herbert Luck North, originally served as a church hall as part of a larger, unrealized plan for a new church in Caerhun. It is now a private residence. The design reflects strong Arts and Crafts influences, showcasing bold geometric forms and decorative elements inspired by Gothic and Burgundian styles, particularly evident in the chevron patterning of the roof.
The building is roughly square and one-and-a-half stories high, built of rubble with a roughcast finish above a stone dado. It features long, sweeping slate roofs with decorative chevron patterning in lighter slates. The design is of double-pile construction, incorporating a central, unifying pyramidal roof and a surmounting gabled louvre. A single-story gabled porch facing the road (east) includes a recessed octagonal window within its gable, featuring diagonal glazing bars. A pointed-arched, chamfered entrance is on the north side, topped with a small gable and boarded double doors. The east and west sides of the main block are shaped like the letter 'M', with the gables of the two sections meeting to form a valley in the center, extending the outer roof pitches. Each gable includes a tall central recess with a canted head; those on the north side contain nine-pane fixed windows above more recent ground-floor windows, with vertically-boarded divisions in the center. The south (garden-facing) side has modern upper sections and, on the ground floor, a full-length nine-pane window on the left, a glazed door on the right, and an octagonal window with a plain brick chimney extending beyond. A further projecting stack is centrally positioned between the paired gables. An octagonal window is intentionally placed to the right of the northern twin-gabled side, disrupting its symmetry. A narrower projecting bay on the west side has a long, shallow catslide roof, with a part-glazed central door and plain, narrow flanking lights.
To the west of the main building is a triangular rubble-walled yard or garden. In the northwest corner, bordering the lane to the north, sits a triangular pavilion or store, constructed of rubble with a pyramidal slate roof decorated with chevrons, mirroring the main building, and topped with a lead ball finial. It has a boarded door on the east side and a boarded window on the north (lane-facing) side.
