It is constructed of flint with brick quoins, dressings, and eaves courses, topped with a hipped tiled roof. The granary features flanking lean-tos and has two ranges of windows on the north and south sides, although a former chimney on the north side has been removed. Inside, there are cross beams in the roof that support queen-posts. This structure is the only remaining building of Toot's Farm.
