Location
On the NW side of a minor road between Lower Wych and Tybroughton.

The original entrance is in the NE gable end. It has a faceted boarded door to the L, the lintel of which is inscribed 'JBC 1875', a 2-light casement to its R and to the attic. The 2-window L side wall facing the road has 3-light casements. The R side wall has 2 small segmental-headed windows. The rear has a boarded door and 2-light casement window to its L, below a 2-light attic window.
