Massive boulder footings and large blocks in wall. Rear has double doors with slab lintel and loft window left. One loop right. W end loft door. Lower range has purple slates, doors to left of centre and right. Slab lintels. Rear has 2 projecting gabled wings with small end windows and lean-to between, with door.
Interior
Barn has 5 pegged collar trusses, 2 missing collars, and triple purlins. Adjoining range has 4 C19 wishbone trusses and triple purlins.
