Former church, now in residential use, site of a church, graveyard and churchyard. The church was built in 1883 by Matthews and Mackenzie, Aberdeen. The present building replaced an earlier church of 1813, which was located to the south west of the later church. The churchyard to the north east of the church was extended further to the north east in the 19th century, between the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. The church was rarely used by the 1980s, and closed shortly after. It is a simple rectangular Gothic church with 5-bay buttressed long north west and south east elevations. There is a gabled entrance porch at the north west and a minister's room entrance at the east gable. It is constructed from pinned tooled pink Ben Rinnes granite, with tooled granite dressings. There are pointed-headed windows in the long elevations, and triple lancets light the south west gable and there is a rose window in the north east gable, with square leaded glazing. There are apex finials, and a ridge bellcote at the north west, which has cusped facets and a small spire with fish-scale slate and a cast-iron weathervane. There is a slate roof and a red pottery ridge. Enclosing the former church is a low coped wall with decorative cast-iron railings and a matching pedestrian gate to the road frontage, and a coped rubble wall elsewhere. Dividing the church and graveyard is a very low coped rubble wall with spearheaded railings. The entrance gate in the north corner of the graveyard is of a similar spearheaded style to the dividing railings. A war memorial (NJ23SE0040) is situated in the west corner of the graveyard.
