Description
Bethlehem Chapel with house is a Grade II listed building that features a single chapel room with a north porch and a two-storey, two-bay house added at the west end. It is constructed from locally sourced dark stone with a slate roof. The lean-to porch has a central gable above a boarded door, flanked by side lancet windows. The chapel itself has two windows on each of its three sides, featuring margin glazed timber 'Y'-tracery. The front windows include flashed yellow glass and applied frosting. The caretaker's house consists of one bay with a side door and two rooms on each of its two floors, featuring modern windows in the original openings.
The chapel can seat approximately 100 persons. The walls are plastered up to a Gothic moulded frieze at the base of a coved ceiling, which includes a central roundel. A cantilevered pulpit is positioned against an arched feature on the southeast wall, complete with a moulded hood and a panelled sedd fawr below.
