House, barn at time of listing. Probably early/mid C17, refurbished in the late C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, parts rebuilt with exposed stone rubble (the large local river cobbles) and some brick; thatch roof. Barn facing onto the road to the south-west. There are opposing large double doors onto the former threshing floor and at the right (south-eastern) end there is a through-passage between the barn and No 1 Drupes Cottages. Left of the passage are the late C19 double doors, each split into two flaps, to the former threshing floor. Left of this is a plank door flanked by unglazed windows with plain frames and shutters. The roof is lower than No 1 Drupes Cottages and is gable-ended. The- end wall is of exposed rubble and the top part is weather-boarded. North elevation has timber lintels over three doorways, that to centre retaining C17 chamfered doorframe and old plank door with strap hinges.

Interior noted as having three-bay side-pegged jointed-cruck roof with slip tenons and trenched purlins. East gable has C17 four-light wood-mullioned window. It was once a cider house and still contains the apple crusher.

The barn forms a group with No 1 Drupes Cottages and Rose Cottage (qv) and Nos 1 and 2 Baileys Cottages (qv).
