Description
The Church Hall is a single-storey building constructed of rubble stone with red brick dressings and a deep-eaved roof covered in red plain tiles. The roof is hipped at the west end and gabled at the east end. The entrance is located at the east end, where a small gablet projects from the roof hip, supported by two turned posts that shelter a bell. The building features tapered buttresses made of squared stone positioned slightly in from the corners, with tiled sloping tops.
The windows are wooden with cambered heads, arranged in a mullion-and-transom style, and have moulded transoms, brick surrounds, and slate sills. The front of the hall has double doors situated between two single lights, each with top lights. The side facing the road includes three three-light windows, along with a plaque that reads 'Fe adeiladwyd er gogoniant Duw gan Meistres Sarah Waddingham yn y flwyddyn 1891'. The east end features a wide five-light window with a cambered head and two rows of top lights. The roof overhangs at the gable.
The building has not been inspected.
