Asymmetric slate roof with rough stone copings at the NW gable; tall stone stack to SE with dripstones and capping.
The NE wall has 2 boarded doors and a small 4-paned light set under the eaves to L (SE). There is a further doorway in the NW gable, with 4-paned light to L, a 6-pane light in the opposite gable apex and a narrow ventilation slit in the rear (SW) wall.
