Description
This building is a house located next to the west end of St David's Church. It is constructed from roughly coursed and squared red sandstone and features a stone tile roof. The rectangular structure is one and a half storeys high and was likely converted from agricultural use to a domestic dwelling in the 20th century. Although it is an old building, all its features date from the 20th century.
The house projects directly from the center of the west gable of St David's Church, and the raised weathering on the church gable suggests that the building may have originally had a thatched roof. On the north elevation, there are small paned casements on either side of a plank door, with a rectangular light above the doorway and a small paned stair window on the half landing. The roof features two gabled dormers with 4 + 4 casements. The gable wall includes a small 6-pane window on the ground floor and a 6 + 6 casement in the gable, along with a round owl hole, indicating its agricultural origins.
The south elevation has two small paned casements on the ground floor, with a plank door and rectangular light to the right. Two gabled dormers, similar to those on the north side, flank a tall stone chimney with a weathered cap. The building was not inspected during the resurvey in April 1997.
