Above the doorway is a loft opening beneath the wall plate. To L is a 2-bay cart shed, the inner bay having a flattened segmental arch with tooled voussoirs and projecting keystone (outer bay has a shallow modern lean-to). Above the inner bay is a loft opening beneath the wall plate. Triangular breathers in gable ends.
