Single door to L of centre; 4-pane wooden window to its R, the elevation obscured by vegetation to its L. Double boarded doors to R of centre under long timber lintel, with loft hatch above. To the N gable end is a single-storey lean-to, formerly a kennel with pig sty to rear; it has a short door to front under a segmental brick head. S gable end has a door and window above, both with red brick surrounds and segmental heads.
