Description
The building is a stone range likely used for various agricultural purposes, constructed from uncoursed quasi-rubble and topped with a slate roof. On the left side, there is a low forward wing that consists of two pigsties with a monopitch roof, which backs against the farmyard wall.
The main part of the range features a small window on the left that overlooks the pigsties, next to a boarded door. There is also a raised door that leads out to a stone landing with steps. To the right, another boarded door is located next to the farmhouse. Additionally, three small rooflights have been added.
Inside, the building has a five-bay layout, which includes one box-framed partition and three remaining cruck frames.
