The N barn range is joined to the latter range by a short later C19 link section with boarded entrances to both E and W. A modern steel-framed barn adjoins to the W and a low corrugated-iron-roofed catslide extension adjoins to the E; this with three boarded openings. 6 tiers of nesting-boxes to the upper N gable, as before. Adjoining the primary barn to the W is a continuously-roofed storeyed range of three sections, that to the centre advanced, that to the L a later C19 addition. Boarded doors to each section with windows to the L of that to the centre and to the R; C20 small-pane, re-used glazing. Small, squat end chimney to E gable with capping and weathercoursing.
