Built of local rubble masonry, limewashed; roof of small old slates, grouted, with red clay ridge tiles and stone coping. Rendered gable stacks with dripstones and coping, that to R (SW) is larger and squarer. All windows have slate sills. To the rear there is scattered fenestration, ground floor with 3-pane metal framed casement to L and brick blocked, round-headed opening to R; between the two is a 2-pane stair window, 1st floor with a single 4-pane horned sash offset to L.
