Description
The former chapel schoolroom is now a hall and is constructed from rubble stone with a slate roof featuring eaves. It is a single-storey building that has three arched windows on the south side facing the main road, and a rubble stone gabled porch at the west end. The south side windows are detailed with stone voussoirs, slate sills, and small-paned tracery featuring Georgian Gothic-style intersecting bars in the heads. The porch includes a boarded door with an overlight above it. The west gable has an arched recess with stone voussoirs that once held a plaque, which is now missing. The roof overhangs at the gables and is adorned with 20th-century verge boards, which are similar to those on the porch. The interior is not available for inspection.
