Description
The chapel and cottage are of very simple late-vernacular character in one range, with their long wall to the front, the house to left. The whole building is in axe-dressed uncoursed stone with a slate roof and tile ridge; end stone stack serving the house. Some heavy rock-faced cornerstones.
The chapel has a big 12-pane sash-window with margin glazing and stone voussoirs to its left (central to the whole range) and a door to right in a large porch. This has stone side walls, a late C19 timber-boarded gable with square- or quatrefoil-pierced bargeboards and a timber finial. Bench seats within and 6-panel door. The right end wall of the chapel has an arched window with stuccoed head and marginal bars to sides and foot of glazing. The rear is roughcast with a six-pane window with side margin bars.
The house has its simple boarded door to left and a casement-pair to each storey to right, the lower openings cambered-headed with stone voussoirs. Rear roughcast. Casement pair to first storey at rear. End wall also roughcast, with ground storey door and window together, the door within a corrugated iron porch. The masonry of the house is bound with wrought iron ties at two levels.

Ball finials to carved newels. Wall recess with moulded arch. Raking floor with pews in two blocks, plus pews each side of the pulpit. Boarded dado with decorative top, carried up at rear of pulpit.
