A stack to the R end has been taken down. A boarded door is R of centre under a segmental head. To its R is a replaced window, with window above. The L-hand unit has no window in the front, but a replaced window to the rear in each storey.

The cow house a slate roof. It has full-height cross-passage doorways next to the house, and a lintelled doorway in the gable end, each with boarded doors.

A boarded door from cross passage to house suggests the original internal arrangement, subsequently modified with the insertion of a front door. The front door opens to a stair hall with dog-leg stair. The R-hand room has a fireplace with timber lintel. The roof has 2 collar-beam trusses with curved-feet principals.
