End facade to road, probably originally with bracketted gable or open pediment (since cut back) two long arched windows with 50-pane sashes and intersecting glazing bars at heads; centre plaque 'Cana. Indpendents. Built 1857. Rev E.Lewis Minister.' over arched doorway. Arches are all of painted cut stone, windows have slate sills and doorway has matching intersecting bars to fanlight and double panelled doors. Two-storey two-window sides with 16-pane sashes and stone voussoirs. Two long end windows.
Forecourt wall to road has four rubble stone piers with concave pyramid coping and ball finials. Centre iron gates, low outer slate-coped walls with matching iron railings.
Interior
