However, only one actual window remains complete or not boarded up: it is on first floor left and is 1/1 sliding sash with margin panes. There are no windows to the rear or gable elevations.

Evaluation
The temporal relationship between the two buildings is unclear, but the smaller is probably a later addition or a substantial refurbishment of an existing outbuilding. The outward appearance of the two-storey building has been altered to an extent where listing is not warranted.
