This former warehouse is a fine and imposing rubble stone structure that dominates the village of Moone and adds incident to the skyline - its contrasts sharply with the adjacent stone piers that form the entrance into the village. It is also one of the very few exposed rubble stone buildings in the village. Although altered to accommodate a residential use the building retains some original features and the scale of the openings has been retained overall, testifying to its former use. The building is of some social and historic significance and is a reminder of the former industrial activity in the locality. The outbuilding to rear, although in poor condition, retains much of its original character, features and materials.
