Full-height double doors to R of centre leading into barn. Two pairs of blocked ventilation slits to R, that to lower R possibly within a former blocked doorway. Two planked doors to L of centre with large stone lintels, with a 3-light window above that to L. To the L end is a further pair of doors with an opening above infilled with brick. A canopy covers a walkway to the house. Window to W gable end. Double planked doors to rear, and same arrangement of blocked ventilation slits to L. A raked buttress and further windows to R. Later altered range adjoining E end, also of stone under a slate roof, with renewed planked doors under stone lintels and enlarged window openings.
The barn has a central cart passage with flagstone floor, the lofts now missing. The W truss consists of a pair of raised half crucks, whilst that to the E is a substantial Queen-post truss. Loft hatch to E end with vent in gable apex. Inserted brick partition to W containing tall doorway, which is not continuous and returns to the truss between barn and stable. This also consists of a pair of raised crucks. The former stable or cowhouse is 2-bay with central tie beam truss with 2 raked struts. The W bay is open to the roof, the E bay with a loft supported on a broadly chamfered beam and reached by stone stairs.
