Barn in English Garden Wall bond brickwork on red sandstone rubble plinth; the wall has been raised with red brick. Greenslate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays; double-depth plan; lower right barn. Central panelled door with integral fanlight could be C20, in quoined surround with keystone feature. Sash windows with glazing bars in brick reveals, under flat brick arches and stone sills (the ground-floor windows are broader). Left return wall is slate hung.

Rounded stair arch; wooden staircase with integral cupboard; turned newel posts, squared balusters, moulded handrail and carved tread ends.
