Description
The former Baptist Chapel, dated 1824, is a red brick building designed as a meeting house. It features a hipped roof covered with black glazed pantiles and has brick dentile eaves. The chapel is two storeys high and has two sash windows with glazing bars, which are set beneath flat brick arches; the windows on the first floor are smaller. A central doorcase with a moulded architrave leads to a panelled door, and there is a small circular panel located between the first-floor windows. The east wall is plastered. There are no notable interior features, and the building is currently used as a workshop.
