Wesleyan chapel and adjoining schoolroom. Datestone 1814. Stuccoed elevations. Dry Delabole slate roof with pedimented gable at entrance front. Plan: Overall L-shaped plan including later schoolroom. Chapel is a rectangular aisle-less plan with gallery on 4 sides. The entrance and stair hall is at the east end and the rostrum is at the west (ritual east) end. Large schoolroom adjoins the west end and this has a heated wing at right angles to its right-hand (north) side. Exterior: 2 storey elevations. Symmetrical 4-window east entrance front with 2 wide elliptically arched doorways towards left and right. Each doorway has its original 3 flush-beaded panelled doors and elliptical fanlight. In front of the doorways is a tetrastyle prostyle Tuscan porch with moulded entablature. The square column-like corners of the front are broken forward; first floor windows (probably circa 1900) have arched lights and coloured glass to the spandrels. There are moulded hoods on consoles over the windows and the pediment and flanking 'columns' have moulded cornices. The side walls have their original 16-pane hornless sashes (4 windows to each side on 2 floors). Schoolroom has a 3 window front (left-hand wall) facing the road and its opposite wall is a symmetrical 2 window gable-ended front with central doorway and 2 round- headed windows with coloured glass. Interior: has all its circa 1860s fittings and features. There is a cantilevered gallery carried on paired brackets over Tuscan columns. Box pews, bow-fronted rostrum.
