Exterior

Small raised granary with cruck-framed front; side and rear walls of rubble stone. Gabled roof covered with early C21 corrugated steel sheeting. Single-storey lean-to to rear, adjoining which is a later stable range. Cruck-framed front is raised; substantial sill beam supported on a timber post to centre. The bases of the crucks appear to finish at granary floor level and are supported on the masonry side walls. Central planked door with triangular head, which is cut into the tie beam. Wattle and daub infill panels, with weather-boarding to R of door. The elevation is set back, in front of which is a balcony of steel and wood, currently in poor condition.

Adjoining to the L is a stable range with loft, of stone with corrugated steel roof. Central stable door under a segmental head of stone voussoirs, with small wooden 2-light openings flanking, and 3 ventilation slits above. The stable was later extended to the L, with a 2nd doorway with timber lintel and a 2-light opening to its L. Ventilation slit above. Two ventilation slits to E gable. Rear of stable range has 2 loft hatch openings, and slate roof to original part. In the L angle is a fragment of wall with corrugated steel roof relating to an earlier structure.
