Four small windows under eaves to second floor, first floor central large square-headed opening with modern fixed glazing and window each side; ground floor large central doorway with concrete lintel and window, not aligned, each side.

Single storey range attached to W with stone walls, roof reslated since 1981 and windows with brick sides and modern timber casements.

Reason for designation
