U-plan with alley to left. 2 storeys at attic. 2 hipped dormers, C20 brick chimney to right. 1 range of windows, on 1st floor a glazing-bar sash in raised flat surround with keystone, on ground floor a glazing-bar shop window. Tall and wide Tudor arched entry to left with label raised over; ogee molded surround with keystone and panelled spandrels - sours to predate Falkland Hall (q.v.). Cobbled alley. Courtyard to rear with 2-storey 5-bay wing linking with barn or store-house cross wing with open ground floor.
