The house is single storey with attics, 2 bays, consisting of a lobby entry beside the lower end stack opening to a living room, and to the right above, an inner room. Boarded door with overlight, and two light 2-paned casement windows, those to the upper floor in small raised dormers. Square stack with drip courses at the junction with the lower farm building.
