Stone steps up to entrance at L to rear with boarded door; small dwarf-rubble-walled enclosure in front and to the R at ground level a boarded, shuttered window. Blocked window opening to R with projecting slate lintel.
Adjoining to the L gable end a small, single-storey addition with rubble gable parapet and old slate roof; weather coursing at junction with main block. Boarded door to rear and modern window
