The gable contains a dovecot with a single continuous stone perch, and a 2-light double-chamfered window. In the apex is a small light with an inserted panel inscribed: "R J A 1698" in C18 lettering, probably c1729 (date of house q.v.). The harr-hung doors are set back and in the left return of the porch is a mistal door with dated lintel: "R J A 1698" Quoined doorway to each end of front. Ventilation slits. Inserted window to right of door. Rear: segmental-headed opposed cart-entry. Later additions to left and right not included in the item.

Interior: four king-post trusses with queen struts supported on posts at front and rear. Slender, curved braces from posts to tie beams and arcade plates, and from king-posts to ridge. Aisle-ties, wall-plates, purlins and rafters extant. Some timber studding to flanks of doorway and to dovecot gable.

A good and complete example of the type.
