Plain tile roof. Single storey, lit by dormers; 2 x 1 bays. Timber framing has narrow panels and S-curved braces. Board door to north side, on left, and to south side, in centre, with board hatch above in gable. Roof is hipped, with tile- hung gablets, and has tile-hung, gabled dormers with 2-light casement windows and bargeboards.
