It is constructed of stone rubble with roughcast rendering on the west face, featuring dressed stone voussoirs. The chapel has a slurry slate roof with gable ends and plain bargeboards, and it is rectangular in shape.
The building has a two-window range, with pointed arched, four-paned windows that include Y bars on the east and west sides. Above the pointed arched doorway at the north gable end, which has a four-panelled door, there is a pointed arched window with intersecting glazing bars. At the south end, there is a leanto with a slate roof that projects slightly beyond the east wall of the chapel. This leanto has a pointed arched doorway with a plank door in its north wall. The interior features 20th-century furnishings.
