The roof is hipped. To the left, the range ends with a slightly higher building with a pyramidal roof and knob finial, having a granary on the upper floor, which acts as a turning point for the single storey range running at right angles WSW, providing further accommodation for horses and two cart openings. It ends in a walled driftway running to the outer farmyard to the N. Some good cobbled paving in front of the ranges with patterning in white pebbles.
Reason for designation
Included as part of the setting and economic support for the Grade II* great house, with which it has group value.
