The property comprises a detached, single-storey former Methodist church of traditional masonry construction, originally constructed in the late Victorian/Edwardian period and subsequently extended to provide ancillary accommodation to the rear.

To the rear, the property has been extended to provide a range of community accommodation comprising meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, WC accommodation, storage and ancillary support space. The extensions are sympathetic in appearance but are of more modern construction than the original church building having corrugated asbestos roof and more modern and less ornate brickwork.
