It is a stone-walled, slate-roofed, gable-entry chapel, built in theSimple Gothic style.The gable entry has a central, round-arched doorway and a fanlight with radiating tracery over two, three-panel doors in the reveals. The gable entry leads into internal lobby with plaster walls, tiled floor and side doors to the chapel. The clock on the chapel side of the lobby was given in 1869 by Mr Evan Thomas, Maesypandy, a Calvinistic Methodist Preacher. The chapel has mid- or later nineteenth century internal arrangement. The floor is raked down to the Set Fawr and pulpit and it has varnished box pews arranged in a central and two side blocks.
