Main frontage has boarded doors to 3 doorways, originally 5, with small woodframed openings in the blockings; further door end left to separate bay, possibly for calves; dormer loft opening. Laneside frontage has a single blocked centre doorway and low window in lean-to right; gable end facing farmyard has boarded door to feed passage with dressed stone lintel and pitching door to hayloft above.
