Built of local stone rubble, with some freestone dressings, and an old slate roof. Three open fronted cart bays, with depressed 3-centred arches of ashlar work on square rubble piers. To the right, a small door leads to the enclosed stair to the granary on the upper floor, which has two shuttered opening lights. A later and lower farm building is attached on the left.
Interior
Two central tensioned king post and strut trusses support the single purlin roof.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a larger farm carthouse and for group value with Bodtegir Old Farmhouse.
