Framing: square panels (3 from sole plate to wall plate) with corner braces and tension braces at rear. 2 framed bays. One storey and attic. External brick end stack to right and C19 external brick lateral stack to front off-centre to left. Large central C17 timber framed full dormer with pair of C19 two-light wooden casements and collar and tie- beam truss with queen struts and V-struts. Small window off-centre to right and C19 two-light wooden casements to right. Pair of boarded doors. Jettied left-hand gable end with moulded bressumer and stepped queen-strut truss. C19 lean-to addition at rear. Interior: pair of ovolo-moulded spine beams with run-out stops. Timber framed cross wall with tension braces and chamfered ground-floor wall plate. Central collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and king post (tie-beam with ovolo-moulding to east). The ovolo-moulded tie-beam suggests that the cross wall was formerly external.
