The lean-to roof is of natural slate and the rainwater goods are plastic. To the left of the porch there is a window on both floors. The lower one is vertically sliding with sashes divided in two vertically and with splayed sash stops. Above this a small window is divided into two vertically. Sills are of traditional depth at leading faces. The building extends to the left in modified two-storey construction. An external staircase rises to a timber-sheeted door that gave access to the original storage chamber and below this at ground level an entrance led to the byre. A quoin stone appears at the north extremity of the original house and a full set remains in the corresponding position on the rear elevation.
