Former west midstrey with hipped gable now has 5 light casement inserted at 1st floor level with C20 hipped weatherboarded porch on ragstone footings.  3 hipped dormers with double mullioned windows.  Ground floor has 2 and 3 light mullioned casements.  Rear elevation has 4 hipped dormers 4 mullioned casements, 1 half-glased door and patio door to left hand side.  The former lean to addition to north was removed at the time of conversion.  Aisled barn of 5 bays with jowled posts, queen post roof, mid rail and curved tension braces. Although many of the up right posts have new bases there is an inserted flow and a fireplace made up of reused timbers, the main posts are original to their upper parts and the tie beams, queenposts, purlins and wall plates with tension braces are original.  The joists are edge halved scarfs with bridled abutments which (according to Cecil Hewitt) died out c.1650.
