The core of the building may possibly represent the 'Wesleyan Barn' of 1750 listed in the census, though much altered and extended. There is a hipped extension to the north west. A brick door surround with pilasters has been added, and the building has been refenestrated. Velux windows have been inserted into the roof. The date tablet in the front elevation gives a date of 1862.{1}{2}{3}{4}
