The building is aligned north-south and faces east, standing two storeys tall with seven bays. It has two-light chamfer mullioned windows with rebated surrounds, with doors located to the left and right. At the rear, there are three two-light chamfer mullioned windows on the first floor to the right and a double leaf door on the first floor left of centre. Inside, there are wooden animal stalls.
