Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner called it 'a startling building to find in Surrey, or even in England', and claimed that 'it would not be out of place in the remotest part of East Kentucky'. Baptist historian Ralph Chambers likened it to 'a pioneer's shack from some faraway backwood of Canada', while Historic England state that it appears 'more typical of New England than Surrey'. Its importance is enhanced by its status as a 'rare survival' from Napoleonic-era England, and it is considered the most unusual of the many 19th-century Nonconformist Chapels across Surrey.

The single-storey building is timber-framed with a weatherboarded exterior resting on a brick plinth. The hipped roof has a brick chimney-stack, is tiled with slate and extends over the front of the building as a seven-bay veranda with wooden pillars. The main entrance door is centrally placed and has six panels; there is a four-panelled subsidiary door on the southwest side, and casement windows with original external shutters flank both doors. A path of Charlwood stone leads to the entrance.

Inside, two vestries occupy the northeast side of the building, one of which retains an original fireplace. Other early-19th-century fittings include the octagonal pulpit, box pews and a table. The internal floor area is 1,354 squarefeet (125.8 sq m approx.), and the Chapel occupies a 0.17-acre (0.069 ha) approx. plot of land that includes a graveyard.
