Single-window fenestration below right gables, all 2-light. Two-storey flat-roofed addition projects forward between 2 right gables. C20 addition at north east end is not of special interest. Interior: many original fittings including folding front door. Other contemporary panelled doors. Moulded stone fireplace has date shield. Ogee stops to beam chamfers. Extended collar roof structure.
