Former Roman Catholic chapel, now in residential use, built in 1829 in a Gothic style and designed by Charles Dawson, Banff, with an apse added later. Attached to the east is the mid 19th century presbytery. The chapel is rectangular in plan, with a pilastered 3-bay south entrance gable, harled with tooled and polished ashlar dressings. Wide giant pilasters divide the west front into 3 bays and clasp angles as buttresses, all diminishing slightly in stepped stages to a crenellated wallhead above which they project as pulvinated pinnacles. Above the central pointed-headed entrance is a blind pointed-head window. Similarly shaped windows flank entrance and light gallery in the outer first floor bays. Three pointed-headed windows light the long west elevation, each with hooks of former shutters remaining. Multi-pane timber sash windows with intersecting astragals in each window apex mirroring leaded pattern applied inside. There is a single blind window in the east elevation, presbytery abutting to right. A simple semi-circular apse added in 1925 projects at the north gable The interior, renovated in 1938, is galleried with a circular wooden stair close to the entrance. The church is fronted by a low rubble wall with spearhead railings. The presbytery is a 2-storey symmetrical 3-bay house, harled with tooled ashlar window and angle margins. The central entrance has a later gabled porch. Glazing is 12-pane in timber sash and case windows. Roof is slate with coped and panelled end stacks. A flat coped rubble wall encloses the garden and church. The chapel went out of ecclesiastical use circa 2006. A standing building survey was carried out in 2015 ahead of proposed conversion to a dwelling.
