East front: 2 storeys, 3:3 bays, long irregular frontage to left 3 bays, first floor 16-pane sash windows, some set flush with facade, right 12-pane sashes, ground floor left asbestos slate roofed lean-to, 16-pane sash window left of entrance, similar right with larger 16-pane sash window to ground floor level beyond, in extension two 12-pane sash windows right of early C19 gabled wooden porch with fluted entablature and three-quarter glazed double doors, plank door to through passage.

A good example of the local carpenters craft.
