To the left is a slit vent, to the right a taking-in door to the hayloft. Gables with slit vents, otherwise plain walling. Verges to roof indicate original thatching. Rear wall has a central blocked door with a much smaller head than on the road side, slit vent to right.

Reason for designation
Included as a C17 barn which, despite re-roofing, has retained its character.
