opening on north east front, lean-to attached to right with
segmental-headed doorway leading down to cellar, now part of
dwelling, lean-to cowshed to left of porch with planked doors and
double-Roman tiled roof. Left return with lean-to cowshed,
formerly open-fronted 2-bay cart shed with stone piers. Rear

projecting centre bay, two slit vents to right. C20 addition
attached to right of front, not of special interest, but unusual

now converted to separate flat.
Interior of barn has C19 king post roof trusses with V struts,
