Roof of small old slates, grouted, stone copings to S and tiled copings at N end; massive square stack with dripstones and capping at S gable (to inglenook) and rendered rectangular stack at N. The principal elevation faces an enclosed garden to the E, a 2 window range with door between, openings offset to the R (N); windows are small paned sashes. The rear elevation has a tiny single window to the S end. The flat roofed addition has rendered elevations and modern casement windows.
