Four-centred arched openings either side contain paned casement windows, the heads with intersecting glazing bars, Boarded shutters. Similar window at the E end, set higher. Over the door, a plaque reading 'Built for the use of the PRIMITIVE METHODISTS, AD 1846. 3 square C20 windows set in the W end and 2 off centre glazed doors to the rear.  

Converted to domestic with mezzanine floor at W with kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor.  

Included for its special architectural interest as a small rural chapel displaying good architectural character. It is important for its historic interest as a rare example of a Primitive Methodist chapel. Its special interest survives despite the late C20 conversion to residential which has respected the form and character of the building .
