Statement of Significance
There is also a corrugated iron and weatherboard gable building at the read of the property which is the former Sunday School and Hall. This has a simple timber entry door and louvred vent at the gable end.
Non-original alterations are not significant.
Aesthetically, it is a fine example of a Carpenter Gothic church with typical form and detailing including the steep pitched roof, gabled porch, and lancet windows and doors. Of note are the stepped buttresses. It is an historic landmark within the Mardan district. (Criterion E)
It has social significance for its strong and enduring associations with the Mardan community through its use as a church for over 110 years. (Criterion G)

SCOTS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - Physical Description 1
The former Scots Presbyterian Church at Mardan South is a typical Victorian/Federation carpenter Gothic Church with a gable roof and a small projecting porch with side doors at the west and an off centre gabled vestry with a chimney at the rear. It has lancet windows in the nave and notable stepped half height timber buttresses defining three bays of the nave.
The vestry has a fireplace at the end with a Federation chimney cap. Gable end frame cross bars are still in place, suggesting further detail has been removed. Later Health Department vents have been located along the ridge.
A corrugated iron building of unclear function and age is located at right angles to the church at the north west corner.
