Two storey red brick building, with three projecting gables, a tile roof and stone details, and a plaque recording a construction date of 1884. The original use of this building is uncertain but, there is evidence that the ground floor was utilised as a cattle stall. The roof space may have been utilised as loft, for storing feed.
