The right-hand gable wall has 2 double-chamfered cellar windows, partly blocked, of 2 and 3 lights. A projection from the rear wall of the stable, under a catslide roof, appears to be a truncated chimney stack. The left-hand gable wall has a lower ground level. A stable door with plain stone surround cuts through a blocked original window within the plinth. Above it is a pitching hole with plain stone surround, within a blocked window with hood. Inside, the house has 3 C17 panelled doors on the 1st floor and some re-used C17 panelling on the ground floor. Inside the stable the top of a blocked segmental-arched fireplace can be seen in the rear wall, below the present ground level. Above on theist floor is a chamfered fireplace with Tudor-arched head. The roof appears to have a Cl9 king-post truss.
