The barn has large double doors E and smaller doors in blocking to W with timber lintels; ventilation slits to sides, 4-light diamond timber mullioned window to E gable end apex above ventilation slits. The stables have a pointed iron window inserted to S side in early C19 with small pane gothick tracery - set into a former doorway; other signs of fabric alteration. Louvred opening to W gable end with raised sill; large quoins; at base of wall a grooved stone channel discharges water into a trough. On N side facing grassed yard are outside steps up to loft door; boarded doors; one buttress with stone tiled offset.

Interior
