South side has a chamfered doorway to the outshut (which is small, probably a stable), another door to the 2nd bay, 2 windows, a wagon door porch with carried down roof, and some slit breathers. North side has exceptionally large outshut to the western half, under a catslide roof, 3 casement windows in the outer wall of this; otherwise this wall and the east gable are covered by additions. Interior of shippon end: loft floor carried on wooden beams supported by wooden saddles on short posts rising from iron columns.
