The site extends to approximately 0.245 ha (0.61 acres). On the site sits a substantial detached church premises built in 1901. The property was built in 1901 for a Presbyterian congregation, dedicated to St Aidan and formerly known as Grosvenor St Aidan.
This Grade II Listed building is constructed from Accrington brick and Westmorland slate with a short spire and unusual flying buttresses. The main focal point of the property is the Art-Nouveau style-stained glass windows with a different Saint featured in each one.
