This substantial brick built Methodist Church with stone features and adornments fronts onto Beeford Road and entered via the main door into an entrance vestibule which opens into the Main Hall.  A separate side porch gives access to a generous lobby area (4.80m x 2.85m) with coloured glass windows and an arched opening with folding doors giving access to the Main Hall.  There is a separate Kitchen (2.18m max x 2.07m max) with base units, laminate work surface, stainless steel sink and central heating boiler (oil) with flue.
