Detached gable-fronted church, built 1956, with projecting entrance porch, and three-stage bell tower to the south-east. Pitched copper-clad roof to church, moulded copper-clad roof to bell tower. Rendered walls with quoins, and with recessed arched recesses to entrance elevation with concrete dressings. Stained glass windows set in round-headed openings with rendered surrounds and concrete sills. Pair of timber battened doors with strap hinges and fanlight, set in round-headed opening. Bounded by snecked granite walls with granite gate piers. 1798 memorial stone to south.
The form and materials utilised in the construction of this church, by W.H. Byrne are representative of the mid twentieth century. The copper-clad roof and concrete dressings are interesting features of the building. The stained glass windows add artistic interest to the site. The snecked ashlar limestone walls contribute to the setting.
