Pointed-arch window openings, each with smooth rendered surround, stone sill and timber double-light window with quatrefoil over. Square-headed openings addition, having stone sills and uPVC windows. Pointed-arch door opening to east elevation of porch having timber door with iron strap hinges. Interior has rendered walls, timber battened wainscoting and ceiling, two rows of timber pews, carved timber pulpit with brass lamp stands, decorative pointed-arch timber panelled backdrop with render hood-moulding terminating in moulded capitals behind pulpit. Carved timber table and chairs to front of pulpit. Timber architraves to square-headed door openings having timber panelled doors. Church set within graveyard in rural setting.
The simple interior of this Presbyterian church is subtly enlivened by timber furnishing and fittings, most notably its carved pulpit and pews which befit the ecclesiastical context of the building. The date plaque inscribed '1700' to the gable refers to an earlier building.
