The building which combines the functions of barn, cowhouse and cartshed, is of stone, with a corrugated asbestos cement roof. Timber framing exposed above plate level on the gable end.

A further opening is at the W end. The S side, facing the garden, has 2 tiers of ventilation slits. The gable end has a tie beam, queen struts and collar supporting a single tier of purlins. The garden wall containing the front garden on the E and S is of stone, with a stone-on-edge coping, and central gate.
