Pitched slate roof to main building, with terracotta ridge cresting, dressed limestone copings with cross finials and cast-iron rainwater goods, and hipped slate roofs to sacristy and porch, with terracotta finials. Rendered walls having dressed limestone quoins, with dressed limestone buttresses to long side walls. Trefoil-headed windows with stone sills and render hood-mouldings, groups of three to east end of south elevation and to east end wall, all with stained glass. Round-headed vent to upper gables with hood-mouldings. Double timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows to sacristy. Glazed timber door to porch.

This convent chapel retains many fine features, such as stained-glass windows and limestone and terracotta crestings and finials which add artistic interest to a simple building. It forms part of the convent complex at Ballingarry and is a reminder of the social and religious history of the district.
