Right-of-centre boarded door with later trellis porch; 4-pane sash windows. End stacks. Lower outbuilding to left. Barn to right has stable door and part-slatted window; to right an extension with boarded door between slit vents, and on far right an outbuilding with old pantile roof. To rear of barn a semi-octagonal gingang has one pier rebuilt in old brick, and pyramidal roof with central post and raking struts to principal rafters.
