Twelve-pane sashes with slate lintels and centre boarded door with 4-pane overlight. Added rendered lean-to on left end wall. Rear two windows to first floor centre and right, very small window to ground floor left. Single-storey wing to right, rubble stone walls, slate roof and end stone stack, raised in brick. Twelve-pane window and boarded door.
