Description
The Free Church in Stromeferry is a small, well-detailed church built in the late 19th century with a rectangular plan and a spirelet bellcote. The exterior features squared and snecked rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings, a battered base course, and an ashlar cill course. The church has a three-bay nave divided by pilaster strips, with a pointed-arch roll-moulded and voussoired doorway, and pointed-arch cusped and geometric traceried windows with raked cills.
On the south elevation facing the road, there is a bay to the right of the center featuring a deep-set two-leaf boarded timber door with decorative ironwork hinges and a multi-pane leaded fanlight. The bays to the center and left each contain a trefoil-headed tripartite timber window set into rectangular panels. The east elevation has a gabled design with a large three-light traceried window in the center. A square-section bellcote is set back at the roof ridge, with a slate-hung base leading to a reduced leaded stage and cornice, topped by an elongated pyramidal roof that sweeps at the eaves.
The north elevation mirrors the south with three tripartite windows and a tall stack on the outer right. The west elevation has two lancet windows. The glazing throughout features multi-pane (square pattern) leaded glass with margin glazing, and the roof is covered with graded grey slates. The eaves overhang with plain bargeboarding.
Inside, there is a timber-lined vestibule with a two-leaf timber door that leads to a boarded-timber church featuring exposed roof trusses. A timber-balustered pulpit is located to the west, flanked by wall-mounted oil lamps, and there is a timber fire-surround in the northwest corner.
