A defaced ashlar date tablet in the gable is inscribed Free Methodist but the date is unclear. It is a small red brick building with a gabled roof with a slate covering. The raised gable has stone copings. The broad three-bay front has a central segmental-headed doorway, with a pair of panelled doors, between 2 sash windows, and there are two bays of sash windows in the east elevation. The gabled elevation to the street has two glazing bar windows under pedimented arches, that to the left with margin lights. Workshop doors have been inserted below.{4}{5}
