L-shaped, single storey range, enclosing a cobbled yard to N of stable block. The first phase of the N range dates from the early C19 and was originally open-fronted to the S (yardside elevation) supported on conical rubble piers, now blocked. Three stable doors with pent roofs and a central window. Blocked doorway on roadside (E) gable with high set, narrow glazed window beneath a timber lintel. To the rear is a projecting hipped range, possibly a horse-engine house; with slate roof and single doorway and window on E side. The E corner is also canted beneath a hipped roof. Later single storey W range is a mid C19, 4 bay cartshed, obliquely joined to the N range at the W corner of the yard, also with Roman tiled, gabled roof. Four large openings to yardside and redbrick dressings to openings.
