Single storey to road (N), 2-storey and high basement, 2-window range to S with 2 small 4-pane sash windows set close under eaves and 2 similar windows on lower floor. North elevation has only doorway into upper floor, set under eaves to left of centre. Two cement steps and half-glazed C20 door. Lean to set back to E end. Present entrance to ground floor in W gable end. On ground floor right corner of this gable end are several projecting building stones indicating possible intention to build.
