Single storey house with rubble stone walls. Green irregularly pitched roof planted with sedum, with long shallow pitch to rear and timber fascias. Three large sculptural pyramid-like rubble stone stacks with lead flashings. Lead rainwater goods. Front contains the most substantial wall of the former chapel with three original central window openings flanked by a doorway each side. These front windows have been chamfered by insertion of concrete lintels. Left gable wall curves into the rear using recycled stone found in situ. Seven windows of irregular size, shape and placement in this aspect; a simple rectangular light set low towards the front, two very small lights near gable apex, one a trapezoid, to left below this an irregular pentagon with concrete lintel begins a sequence of smaller lights descending in height with the curve to the rear wall. Roofline forms a gentle curve over central rear door with clerestory windows below. Rear storage bins to either side of rear door, one of them added after 1974, green roofs planted with grass. Right gable wall is obtuse and returns to the rear with a chamfered corner. Five lights in this gable with the trapezoids under the eaves and two rectangular openings below, the larger with concrete lintel. All windows are timber casements, double glazed. Original 1974 Dutch door to front right has been replaced.

Not inspected, photographs from the architect’s publications show an exposed timber frame and hard wood floors. Windows in deep openings through thick walls covered in rough plaster worked by hand to form small shelves and niches. Generally single storey but with stone steps between some rooms.
