The building was designed by the firm of Isaac Taylor and W. Cecil Young and is Grade II listed. The listing states: "St. Gabriel's is a carefully considered amalgam of 17th century brick and timber motifs with a massing derived from contemporary Dutch and North German sources that make for a fine, distinctive composition. It is one of the Firm's finest churches." The church is built from brown Blockley brick with a Westmoreland slate roof. It has a squat west tower and is built on a "basilica" plan with an eight bay nave with clerestory windows.
