Rubble stone walls with strap pointing and rock-faced quoins. Square-headed openings to side elevations with tooled stone surrounds and sills. Date plaque to gable wall. Replacement pitched tile roof with barge boards.
Though this building has been recently modernised, it retains its fine stone work. Architecturally it belongs to an interesting forge type, with the horseshoe-shaped gable opening.
