Coursed dressed sandstone, stone slate roofs. 1 and 2 storeys, 1:3:2:3:2:3:1 bays, built in a half-ellipse plan. Centre and end portions project slightly.

From the left: single-storey range with 4 board doors in pointed- arched openings, formerly fruit houses, blocked door, and window; central 2- storey range, with ground-floor blocked doorway, window, door with small added porch, and first-floor 4-pane sash windows flanking blind quatrefoil, originally 3 quatrefoils; single-storey range with window and blocked door; window; two 2-storey bays with windows on ground floor and 4-pane sashes on first floor; end bay with window on ground floor and 4-pane sash window on first floor.
