Multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to east gable of return, having pitched slate roof, rubble stone walls, and square-headed openings with tooled stone lintels and cut-stone sills.

Appraisal
This noteworthy mid- to late nineteenth-century house retains good fabric and details. The projecting end bay adds interest to the front elevation which is asymmetrical yet well ordered. The extensive use of tooled limestone shows the skill of nineteenth-century craftsmen.
