The building is two storeys high, with the ground floor at the back set into the earth.
On the south elevation, No. 1 has a ground floor that includes a doorway with a large lintel, stone surround, and tie-stones, along with a five-light stone mullioned window that has recessed mullions and a flush King mullion. The first floor features a two-light stone mullioned window and a three-light stone mullioned window. No. 2 has a ground floor with a two-light stone mullioned window and a first floor with a three-light stone mullioned window. There is an extension to the north that has a catslide roof. The barn includes a large doorway with a segmental arched head, stone surrounds, and tie-stones.
