Pair of square-profile limestone piers with ornate caps and single-leaf cast-iron gate to site entrance. Rendered boundary walls having cut limestone copings and cast-iron railings. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear having hipped, half-slate half-corrugated-iron roof, rubble limestone walls and square-headed window openings with timber fittings.
