Small lofted bakehouse of coursed mortared rubble incorporating large stones as quoins and lintels; roof of profiled sheeting which retains stone slab copings.

The principal elevation faces the other farmbuildings in the yard to NW, a single doorway to R and a window to L which has a weathered inscribed stone over the lintel which bears the date 1818 with initials O over I E; there is a small window in the opposite wall. Access to the loft is via an external fligh of stone stairs leading up to the SE gable, the entrance is to the L with a small window to R. Access to the lean-to is through doorways to NW.
