The site was visited in 2009. The chapel is now a Christian Fellowship Church. The gabled building is constructed of red brick with yellow brick, polychrome and ashlar dressings and has a slate roof covering and rendered plinth. The round-arched doorway of the main chapel is set in a gabled porch and is flanked by two pointed windows to right and left. The south-east portion of the building has a separate round-arched entrance, set in a shallow gable, and a stone tablet above inscribed 'Wesleyan Chapel and Schools Erected 1869'. The doorways have ashlar arches. Two ashlar bands from stringcourses, the upper narrow band also forming the hoodmoulds of the windows. The eaves cornices and gable verges are formed of three rows of yellow brick with a central row of dogtooth brick. The window arches are constructed of yellow brick and a polychrome alternating red and yellow brick stringcourse runs along the underside of the upper ashlar band. The gabled porch has similar decorative features. The north-west and south-east gable elevations have three stepped pointed windows and two pointed windows respectively and small pointed openings in the gable above.{3}{4}{5}
