Watershot masonry to side elevations, rear not accessible. Slate roof. PLAN: simple rectangular space with galleries, now floored. EXTERIOR: symmetrical, 3 bays. Gable wall with coping to eaves and stone finial, with small semi-circular opening above plaque dated 1860; cornice bands and rusticated quoining. 1st floor: 3 tall round-headed 16-pane windows in ashlar stone surrounds with recessed aprons (above sill band). Ground floor: low plinth with 2 round-headed doorways with blocked fanlights flanking central round-headed blocked window; all have panelled ashlar surrounds. Doors are fielded and panelled. Side elevation: regular 4-window range with plain lintels to 1st and ground floors with the east window blocked on left elevation.
