The building is still extant, but has been converted to another use. The street (east) elevation has a large roller door opening inserted. Any flanking ground floor windows have been removed, but the tall rounded top windows of the first floor survive, though bricked up. The southern elevation has been rendered for ¾ of its length. A line of four tall rounded top windows are evident on the first floor (also bricked up) and one and a half on the ground floor. To the rear (west) is an unsympathetic two and a half storey extension with a sloped roof. A one and a half storey extension occupies half the length of the southern elevation and extends further west than the chapel building. A (fake?) parapet contains a name stone: Victoria Hall.
