Two wide tall segmentally-headed cart-entries with thin stone voussoirs, projecting keystones, drips and imposts. Central dressed stone pier. Altered doors. Three small first floor windows with timber lintels. C20 rear window. Slightly lower 3-bay barn with plinth and very tall central door, cambered stone voussoired head: paired and boarded doors, boarding above.

Lower and later lofted stable to left with three bay front. Two upper windows with timber lintels. Ground floor with stable-type door to left and small window to centre: timber lintels. Door to right abutting barn with segmental stone voussoired head: blocked with inserted window. Lower added 3-bay stable to left, forming end of range. Corrugated roof.
