Description
The Smithy is a single-storey rectangular building constructed from local rubble, topped with a corrugated iron roof. On the right side, there is a small-pane 20th-century glazed door, while to the left, there are two large felt-roofed canted bays featuring modern multi-pane glazing. An arched multi-pane window is located on the plain southwest gable. At the rear, there is a lean-to with a roof matching the main structure. The interiors are plain and modern.
