Roofless outbuilding with rubble stone walls, elliptical-arched carriage arches with red brick voussoirs, and corrugated-iron fittings. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding forming north-east range of yard with pitched corrugated-iron roof, rubble stone walls, square-headed window openings with metal framed windows, and elliptical-arched carriage arches with rubble stone voussoirs. Boundary wall to south-east having splayed slit window. Entrance to south-west of yard having roughcast rendered walls and square-profile piers. Rubble stone entrance walls and dressed stone square-profile piers with cast-iron vehicular and pedestrian gates to site entrance.
Unusual asymmetrical façade to house, enlivened by timber sliding sash windows.

Entrance with cast-iron gates add visual interest to roadscape.
