Pilastered entrance-surround with frieze and cornice to paired six-panel doors with overlights. Two-storey single-bay extension to right in similar style. Panelled door below with Gothick-glazed fanlight. Left return elevation of three windows on two storeys with band and moulded cornice. Datestone of 1777 above door refers to the building of the chapel after the reunion of the two Lutterworth Congregations following an earlier secession.
