bitumen-painted hipped slate roof.
Plan: Small rectangular building with external stone steps up to the first floor on
the rear (farmyard) elevation with a probably later 2-storey lean-to at the right
end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical one window front with a wide doorway with paired
timber doors to the left with a keyblock, doorway probably enlarged; smaller C19 or
C20 plank door to the right; 3-light transomed window to first floor level with a
