The building retains many of the typical architectural features of the period and in brief comprises; Stone entrance porch with double doors to a hall off which is a kitchen, separate W.C and storeroom. Double doors from the hall give access into main Church room with its 22'9" high vaulted ceiling with a number a stained glass and leaded tall arched windows, the room has timber panelled walls to dado height with exposed stone above and a raised floor at one end with deep recess housing a church organ. There is a door leading to an enclosed side entrance lobby with door to outside where there is access to a basement and crawl space under the building.
The building is approached through a stone pillared entrance with wrought iron gate and a wide path leading to the main entrance.
