Farm building, possibly granary, now accommodation. Dated 1790. Wall of coursed dressed slatestone, very finely jointed. Slate half-hipped roof. Recently inserted stone axial chimney stack.

Exterior: three storeys. Entrance front simply has central doorway with late C20 part-glazed door. Symmetrical three window rear elevation and two window to right-hand side wall, all late C20 2-light casements but in original openings with voussoir arches over. Projecting stone string between lower and middle storeys. Coved stone eaves cornice. Date stone on right-hand end wall.

Interior: has some ovolo-moulded wooden lintels to windows, presumably re-used from the farmhouse. Tie beam roof construction using substantial hardwood timbers, may be original.
