To the right there is a lean-to addition against the front wall, with a shippon door beyond it to the right. Chimneys to each side of former house. The south wall of the house has a window with plain stone surround and flat-faced mullions, of 5 lights, one now blocked. To the right is a window with plain stone surround. On the 1st floor there is a similar window. The barn, at the left, has 2 small widely-spaced windows with plain reveals. On the upper floor there is a pitching hole. Between the barn and the former house the masonry is continuous on the ground floor. Under the eaves there is a straight joint with quoins to the house, suggesting that the barn walls have been raised, probably early C19th. Inside, the western room of the former house has a shouldered stone fireplace with moulded mantel. In front of it, between the boxed axial beams and projecting upwards through the 1st floor, is a beef loft: a small compartment recessed into the ceiling for drying beef and hams. The roof has one truss with tie beam and collar, and a purlin re-used from a cruck building.
