Mono-pitched roof with replacement corrugated-iron, c.1945, rendered ridge, and rendered coping. Painted random rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings with no sills. 6/6 timber sash windows with some fixed-pane timber windows having diamond-lattice glazing. Square-headed door openings with timber boarded doors, and some now boarded over with corrugated-iron.
