On the right side, there is a single-storey lean-to. The central entrance consists of a four-panel two-light door with a moulded frieze and a flat canopy supported by brackets, along with an insurance plaque above the door. Inside, notable features include 19th-century coloured tiles on the hall floor, stop-chamfered bridging joists, and a dairy at the rear that retains original meat hooks from the ceiling.
