Description

Capel Ebenezer, built of stone and pebbledashed at the front, features a slate roof. The doors and windows have rendered round-headed architraves. The doors are located at each end of the facade, with three round-headed windows in between, the center window being slightly wider and all having margin glazing. A horizontal string course runs along the base of the gable, which includes a roundel inscribed with the building dates, and there is a bargeboarded verge. The side elevations have similar windows.

The forecourt is enclosed by a low rubble wall topped with cast iron railings featuring fleur terminals, set on a slate sill. The central pair of gates are cross braced and have dog rails with matching terminals.

To the left, there is a single-storey range that formerly served as the vestry but is now a dwelling. This range has a front elevation with a lower gabled porch attached at right angles, containing a boarded door that serves as a side entrance, along with two small margin-glazed round-headed sash windows. A red brick stack protrudes from the slate roof, which also includes five roof lights. There are large two-light windows on either side of the front extension.

The building has a rectangular plan, with the end doors on the facade leading into internal lobbies. The pulpit is positioned opposite the facade, set against a round-arched niche and flanked by panels. The pulpit is panelled, with the center section breaking forward. There is a dado cornice in the body of the hall, and the ceiling features diagonal ribs that converge on a central circular ventilator.
