Description

Capel Saron and the attached Chapel House are simple buildings from the late vernacular style, constructed in one range with the chapel on the right and the house on the left. They are made of axe-dressed uncoursed stone, topped with a slate roof and a tile ridge, and feature a stone stack at the end serving the house. The corners have heavy rock-faced stonework.

The chapel includes a large 12-pane sash window with margin glazing and stone voussoirs to the left, which is central to the entire building. To the right, there is a door set within a large porch that has stone side walls, a late 19th-century timber-boarded gable with square or quatrefoil-pierced bargeboards, and a timber finial. Inside the porch are bench seats and a six-panel door. The right end wall of the chapel has an arched window with a stuccoed head and marginal bars on the sides and bottom of the glazing. The rear wall is roughcast and features a six-pane window with side margin bars.

The house has a simple boarded door on the left and a pair of casement windows on each storey to the right, with the lower windows having cambered heads and stone voussoirs. The rear wall is also roughcast and includes a casement pair on the first storey. The end wall is roughcast as well, with a door and window on the ground storey, the door located within a corrugated iron porch. The masonry of the house is reinforced with wrought iron ties at two levels.

Inside the chapel, the space is two bays wide with a mid-truss boxed in. It features late 19th-century pews and a pulpit, which has a canted front with carved panels, decorative baluster sides and steps, and a decorative front rail. There are ball finials on the carved newels and a wall recess with a moulded arch. The floor is raked, with pews arranged in two blocks and additional pews on either side of the pulpit. The dado is boarded with a decorative top that extends up at the rear of the pulpit.
