Timber-frame clad in thinly-coursed rubble and coursed squared stone; stone slate roof. 4 bays with rear aisle to right bays. Quoins. Cart entry with double board door in bay 2 has quoins, chamfered round arch and gable with shaped kneelers and coping. Doorway at left end is tied in to quoins and has inserted window on its right. A 3-light flat faced mullion window to far right. Rear: blocked opposing cart-entry, has timber lintel; right bay gabled. Right return: quoined doorway on left; 3-light flat faced mullion window to right; arched and plain slit vents. Interior: 3 trusses with jowelled posts and braces to tie-beams and plates.
