The building is fan-shaped; the copper roof curves upward to the tall narrow sanctuary end. The part glazed front double doors are set within a decorative leaded glazed screen; this is set within a flat-headed opening. Other windows are generally flat-headed and also have decorative leaded glazing; all windows sport modern ecclesiastical art. The church is slightly set back from the road.
