The Recreation Room Tithe Barn and Dovecote is a 16th-century tithe barn that has been converted into a house and is now used for storage and as a recreation room. It is constructed from coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and quoins, topped with a plain tile roof that features a brick stack in the pitch. The building has two storeys and the north elevation consists of four bays. The central doorway has a moulded round arch with ashlar spandrels and a hoodmould. There is a 19th-century doorway with ashlar jambs and a plank door. To the left, there is a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, a segmental arched cart entrance, and another similar 3-light window. To the right, there is a similar 3-light window, a 19th-century doorway with a stone lintel, and a 19th-century gabled cart shed attached to the north. The first floor features four 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows and a 19th-century doorway with a plank door. The west elevation has a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on each floor, with the upper one altered and partly blocked.
