The rear elevation has a modern boarded door to the raking dormer door, with a modern brick flat-roofed garage to R. The central range has a chimney to the R gable end serving the former smithy, and a roof mainly of old small slates. boarded doors, and inserted narrow windows in the sequence DWDWDDW.

Three wide cart openings with segmental stone arches with rubble voussoirs and dripstones. Stone staircase to R side leading to boarded granary door with the head breaking slightly above the eaves line.
