Attached former byre to right has cambered arched openings with brick dressings, loft above. Attached unit left has been altered with inserted doors and windows with brick dressings, stairs to loft parallel with frontage. Cobbled drive to front.

Barn interior has replaced timbers to roof; wooden lintels to openings, enclosed ground floor rooms at each end. Former byre also has replaced roof, remains of concrete stalls and mangers, remains of floor to hay-loft.
