Undergoing renovation, 2007, to accommodate continued alternative use. Now disused. Replacement pitched artificial slate roof on a T-shaped plan on collared timber construction centred on pitched (gabled) artificial slate roof (porch), ridge tiles, zinc-covered cut-granite coping to gables with rendered chimney stacks to apexes having paired cut-granite stringcourses below capping, central "wallhead" chimney stack to rear (east) elevation having corbelled stepped capping supporting terracotta tapered pot, and uPVC rainwater goods on slate flagged eaves. Rendered, ruled and lined walls on battered base with benchmark-inscribed rusticated cut-granite quoins to corners; roughcast surface finish to rear (east) elevation. Round- or segmental-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing mild steel storm panels over eight-over-twelve timber sash windows having fanlights.
