Rectangular north-facing cartshed with granary loft over. Parapet gabled ends. Two cart doorways with large timber lintel and central stone pier inserted in lower part of north end. Plank-shuttered opening with timber lintel immediately above main lintel; 2-light chamfered mullioned window above that with hoodmould. Loft opening with timber-lintel at south end. Central pointed arched doorway on east side. Stone granary steps immediately to left with projecting nosing to landing; loft doorway with timber lintel.
