A central, half-hipped entrance break is visible, with a tiled roof over the north aisle, supported by piers to a wall plate and featuring central doors. The building is listed for its internal timber structure, which comprises five bays. Within, there are braced tiebeams, arch braced collars, and two rows of through purlins, occasionally incorporating wind braces.
