The gap between these additions is bridged by a wide pitched roof with an integral wooden pigeon loft, and serves as a wide porch to a large basket-arched waggon doorway which has a keystone and double board doors. The 2-bay addition to the left, under a catslide roof, has a stable door and a ventilated window to the 1st bay and an open 2nd bay. The stable-block to the right is 2-storeyed, on a parallel axis, and has a loading door in the re-entrant wall close to the main range, and an altered doorway and windows in the opposite (outer) side wall. The rear outshut, under a catslide roof, has a low segmental-arched waggon doorway in the centre, with double board doors, loose-boxes at both ends with stable doors and ex-situ 2-light double-chamfered mullioned windows under the eaves (that to the right lacking the mullion and that to the left blocked), and ventilated windows to the intermediate bays. INTERIOR: pegged kingpost roof trusses with fishbone struts, 2 pairs of chamfered purlins; altered loft to east end; rear partition walls of random rubble. Forms group with Spa Farmhouse. (q.v.).
