At left of the front (east) elevation the stable has a boarded door with a timber lintel, and a restored window. The two-bay barn lies to centre, with slit ventilators flanking a stone-voussoired camber-headed doorway formerly reached by steps. Above this is a single boarded loft-hatch. At the right the loosebox has a door with a stone lintel and hayloft or granary hatch above and further slit ventilators; boarded door in gable end.

At rear there is a small barn window at low level, and two loft doors and two hatches.

Interior

Stone partition at ground floor level between stable and barn. The barn has queen-strut trusses with lapped purlins.
