Description

The Chapel is a Grade II listed building faced in painted roughcast render, topped with a natural slate roof and featuring red brick stacks. It is a long rectangular structure with a single depth range that faces south, accompanied by a rear service wing and other extensions.

The south elevation has two storeys and four windows arranged in a pattern of 2 + 1 + 1. The central bay is slightly recessed and topped with a gable. The first window on the left is part of a two-storey lean-to extension, featuring an 8 over 8 pane sash. Next to it is a three-light mid-20th century lean-to bay. The entrance is recessed and flanked by small windows, with a lean-to porch supported by slim cast iron columns. To the right, there is a seven-light bay that connects to a single-storey hipped roof pavilion, which has a four-light window and a projecting roof supported by brackets.

On the first floor, there is a central two-light window with a 6 + 6 pane casement and an elliptical head, flanked by two 8 over 8 pane sashes on the left and one on the right. The gable above the central window features pierced scalloped bargeboards and a small 6-pane casement window. The roof is steeply pitched, with stacks at each gable and a wing stack visible behind the ridge.

The rear elevation displays a full-height wing that transitions to a lower two-storey wing. It contains various windows, mostly 19th-century sashes, including one gabled tripartite window. There is also a dormer in the main roof and a small garret window in the wing gable. Each wing has a tall brick stack. The interior details were not available at the time of the resurvey.
