The fireplace stonework of the west gable is a different build to the stonework of the cottage generally. Artificial slate roof with exposed rafter ends and cemented verges. Small brick chimney at left. The door is vertically boarded and the windows each consist of two eight-pane lights. Timber lintels, brick sills. In the right gable is a loft opening. Small outbuilding at left.
