Description

Two storeys and square in plan, of coursed, dressed limestone and pyramidal slate roof (a former cupola is now missing). The N side facing the farm yard is open-fronted to the lower storey with 2 wide doorways under stone segmental heads (with added brick jambs and steel lintel to doorway on R). Above is a central doorway with flat stone arch. The E and W walls have, set back slightly from the angles, raked stone buttresses (the E wall also partly fallen down). In the S wall are 2 doorways similar to N side but infilled with rubble stone, and a stub wall between them which formerly projected to the S. Above is a central oculus.

The lower storey was originally 2 units but only stub walls of a former partition survive. The walls are plastered in the lower storey, and in the loft up to the level of the brick nesting boxes. The roof has machine-sawn, pegged trusses, partly fire damaged.
