It consists of eight bays and has projecting gabled porches, which are not opposed. The entrance porch, facing Whitley Farmhouse, includes wooden double doors. There are 19th and 20th-century outshuts at both the front and rear, with a rear porch that has a hipped gable.

Inside, the barn features tie and collar beam trusses and a butt purlin roof. There is some inserted flooring to the right and left of the entrance, along with a stone-walled partition also located to the right.
