Description
The former chapel and chapel house of Horeb Chapel is constructed of painted rubble stone and features a slate eaves roof with a brick stack on the right end. The chapel section on the left has two large arched windows and one blocked door to the left. The windows are fitted with 24-pane glazing that includes Gothic intersecting bars at the top and thick tooled stone sills. To the right, there is a late 19th-century brick-framed board door with a three-pane overlight. The house portion has a two-window arrangement, with five-pane sash windows above and a 20th-century plastic door and window below, both framed in brick. The left end wall of the chapel is covered with 20th-century asbestos slates.
Inside the chapel, the fittings have been removed, revealing late 19th-century dado boarding and a fireplace, along with one window in the rear gallery.
