The main elevation is of three windows all 2 over 2 pane sashes under timber lintels. Central entrance with a late C20 gabled porch, plain door with small side windows. The inner door is a replacement double one. Steeply pitched roof with end stacks, the one on the left gable is external and may be an addition, that on the right gable is internal. both have two flues. The gable walls are both blind. The rear elevation has a modern window on the upper floor beside the outshut, and they have modern casements and a roof-light.
