Frame of heavy scantling has midrail and curved braces to wall frame, jowled upright posts with curved windbraces and roof of side purlin and windbrace construction with principal rafters reduced above purlin level and an intermediate collar and queen studs.

A full-height flint-walled open storage bay was added to the north later but this was virtually rebuilt in brick after Second World War damage.
