Description
The building is a loft, byre, and stable located to the south of Sandy Carr Farmhouse, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a pantiled roof featuring stone gable copings. The structure consists of a two-storey loft and byre with two bays, and a one-storey, two-bay stable on the right.
The byre includes a Dutch door on the left beneath a flat stone lintel, and a hit-and-miss opening on the right, also under a similar lintel. There are side steps leading to a first-floor loft door at the extreme right, with a buttress positioned between the loft door and the hit-and-miss opening. The stable features a flat stone lintel over a Dutch door located to the right of centre, a small square window on the left under a similar lintel, and another square window on the right beneath the eaves. The roofs are low-pitched.
