Two storeys and 2 bays; front wall has exposed large-framing with timbers mostly of light scantling, including a sill and a wallplate, principal wall-posts at both corners and in the centre, a mid-level rail, and thin studs and rails between these; to the right of the central post is an inserted 2-light casement window in what appears to be a former doorway; otherwise, there is a 3-light casement to the left, a larger 3-light fixed window to the right, and 2 small 3-light casements at 1st floor immediately under the wallplate. Large external chimney stacks at both gables; full-height lean-to at right-hand gable. The rear wall is of brick at ground floor with timber-framing above, and has 2 single-light casements; the rear wing has segmental-headed openings including an inserted or moved doorway and a 2-light casement to the left of this (no openings above), and a large external chimney stack at the rear gable (partly covered by a lean-to). Interior: not inspected, but rear wing said to contain bread oven.
