History
Third-quarter C19 Methodist chapel with attached minister's house, designed as a unit.  

Exterior
Rubble construction with continuous old slate roof. 2 storey house section with squat end chimneys, that to the R (between the house and chapel) of rendered brick and with weather-coursing. Central entrance to SE side; recessed modern door. Flanking 4-pane casement windows and further windows under the eaves, that to the L modern. The L gable, facing the inclined lane, has a further door to the L with, to the R, 2 windows to the ground floor and a modern window to the first floor. The continuous chapel section has a tall recessed and boarded door to the L with plain light above. To the R two tall 8-pane sash windows with 2 similar windows to the R gable; this with deep verges and plain bargeboards.  

Interior
The interiors were not accessible at the time of inspection (January 1995).  

Reason for designation
Included as an interesting and relatively complete example of a C19 Methodist house-and-chapel unit, in interesting juxtaposition with St. Machreth's church and churchyard immediately opposite. Group value with the associated stable block and graveyard.
