Rectangular single-cell plan at right-angles to street. One tall storey and 3 bays, symmetrical; a gabled facade with a sandstone plinth and brick pilasters with moulded stone caps in a band to the gable, which is treated as a pediment. The wider centre bay has a doorway with a moulded architrave and a large cornice on consoles, and double doors with round-headed panels, and above this a 12-pane sashed window with margin panes, a raised sill on sill-blocks, and a similar cornice on consoles.

The gable has a moulded coping and contains a stone panel with sunk Maltese cross. Rear, now covered by added 2-storey lean-to, has 2 tall windows like those at the front. INTERIOR: modernised by insertion of suspended ceiling, but with remains of moulded cornice of original ceiling and tops of pilasters with egg-and-dart decoration (visible through rear windows). History: built by Particular Baptists seceding from former Vauxhall Road Chapel in 1853; taken over in 1882 by Catholic Apostolic Church.
