The chapel is of squared and coursed local stone with limestone quoining, and has a hipped slate roof. Symmetrical front elevation of 3 bays, the centre set forward and gabled, and has an attached single storey wide hip-roofed porch sheltering the entrances, with boot scrapers either side. The centre of the porch is open, with two gates and spear-headed railings. Four-panelled doors with grained finish lead to the body of the chapel. Above the porch, twin margin-glazed windows with segmental heads, and a framed datestone in the gable. Each side bay has tall 12-pane fixed light windows.
