Irregular facade of two 4-pane casements to centre and left over ground floor window, door window, roughly aligned with windows above. 6-pane window to left, broad doorway with cambered head on oak lintel and four-pane casement to right.

Left end has attached later C19 lofted cow-house with two loft windows under eaves and ground floor brick-headed door, window, door, door, and added brick lean-to. Door in end-wall, in angle to mill, to former kiln-room.
Interior
