It is constructed with a timber frame and is weatherboarded, topped with a red plain tiled roof that is hipped and features gablets.

The barn consists of seven bays and includes arched braces to the tie beams. The roof is supported by queen struts with arched side bracing, and it features jowled storey posts.
