The roof is covered with corrugated asbestos and the interior is boarded. The barn consists of three bays and has a gabled midstrey with lean-to extensions on both the right and left sides. The walls are supported by through bracing, and there are hanging knees to the tie beams. This barn is considered a good example of its type.
