It is constructed from locally fired red brick and features a hipped slate roof with six bays.

Inside, there are two thrashing floors, with tie beams supported by brick buttresses that have arch braces and Queen struts to the side purlins. Additionally, two rows of contemporary stables, also made of red brick with slate roofs, form the east and west boundaries of the stock yard.
