Boarded 2-leaf door flanked by stone-mullioned bipartites; wider sliding door to shoeing shop at right is also boarded. Windows part shuttered, part glazed (upper part of each 4-pane). Rubble-built with ashlar dressing and raised margins. Slate roof with bracketted eaves and roof-lights; pair brick stacks and louvred axial roof ventilator. Disused since 1960s, but interior intact (1990), including most of extensive range of original machinery and tools: forge and bellows on W gable; hand-powered
