Pitched slate roof, roll-top clay ridge tiles, square masonry stubs terminate ridge, rendered verge to porch, cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast walling on splayed plinth. Lancet windows, smooth-rendered reveals, painted stone sills, diamond-paned margined cast-iron windows. Pointed-arch door opening, hardwood vertically-sheeted double door c. 1980, stone step to threshold. Concrete pathway from porch to entrance gate.

Appraisal
This modest yet pleasing Methodist church is a centrepiece of Collooney. The asymmetric porch and lancet windows serve to enliven the composition.
