Description

Zoar Chapel Vestry is a small, simple single-storey building. It is rendered and pebble-dashed under a slate roof, featuring a stone stack on the west gable. The front elevation has a wood planked door at the east end, with two 12-pane sash windows to its left, both having stone sills. There are no openings on the rear or the east gable end. To the west, there is a small lean-to that is set back and has a corrugated asbestos-cement roof. This lean-to includes a 20th-century wood planked door at the front and a small light on the west side. The interior is simple and undivided.
