To the left, there are two barns; the central barn has a large doorway with a segmental arch and quoins, along with a smaller doorway. The first floor of the barns has two and three-light stone mullioned windows. At the rear, each barn features large doorways with segmental arches. To the right gable, there is a stone extension with a stone roof and garage doors.
