Ground floor with entrance on left with slate hood above. Large hall window to right, blocked on exterior. Niche remains on interior. First floor with single-window opening. Lower gable end appears to have been rebuilt. Openings in rear wall altered with 2 blocked window openings on ground floor.

Openings on ground and first floor blocked. Stone cills remains. Interior remodelled. Partly floored with C19 stair to rear of entrance passage removed.
