The range of loose boxes within the yard of c.1988 is not of special architectural interest.

The east range of two storeys with tack rooms in the upper storey. On the ground floor three stable doors with top hung fanlights; on the first floor three double casements with glazing bars (4x3 panes).

On the ground floor a doorway with fanlight and on each side a sash similar to sashes in north range, on the first floor a loft doorway with vertical board door.
