If this is the building on the Cooil Chapel side of the turn off into B&Q then it belonged to the late Maurice Day who was an artist/sculptor, and a very mobile chap in his little van and his wheelchair, despite the loss of two legs, which was I recall the result of a horrific industrial accident.

An item of his work can be seen at:

He was also the subject of a piece of art entitled 'Maurice Day in his kitchen':
