A late Seventeenth century linked group of farm buildings, now adapted for use as chapel, classrooms and laboratory. Built of brown brick in English garden wall and Flemish bonds with slate roofs of various periods. 2 storeys, 5 bays with 6 bay west and 4 bay east returns, these complete a "U" shaped plan. Stone plinth, flush stone quoins. The front elevation (south) has large oak timbers with gudgeons at the east end indicating two large door openings now blocked. A new carriage opening, with segmental arch, has been formed in this front between the fourth and fifth bays. The west and east returns are gabled. The west return has an original stone mullion window at first floor, stone stepped labels to two altered ground floor windows, a blocked stone dressed door opening with deep Tudor arched lintel and a wide boarded loft door, on strap hinges, in a stone dressed opening. Old bricks with blue header courses. Flush quoins to rear north-east and north-west corners. The east return has a saw tooth course at the centre of a three course deep band. Windows now generally 1-to-4-light flush casements.
