Barn, coach-house, stables, pig-sties and outbuildings. The barn is probably C15 and an extremely rare example of a hammer-beam roof in this area. Rubble with freestone dressings; double Roman tiled roof with coped raised verges and finials. Traditional plan with opposed, gabled projecting porches which have side buttresses and square headed cart entries; single lights in the gables. Interior: 7 bays; 4 hammer beam trusses support arch-braced collar beams; the other trusses are tie-and-collar beams with struts. To the left of the barn a C19 stable and loft projects: pantile roof; slit vents and 2 doors in gable end. At the left of the porch is a pig-sty with an outer enclosing wall and at the right is a C19 lean-to outbuilding with an ashlar upper part. Set back at the far right of the barn is a late C16 - early C17 single storey building with a loft in 2 steep gables on the south and east sides; chamfered and 4-centre headed loft doorways; C19 and C20 doorways on ground floor; large timber lintel on south elevation. At the north-west (rear) is the former coach-house: coursed, and squared rubble with freestone dressings; stone slate roof; 2 storeys; 3 windows, C20 casements on ground floor, two 2- and 3-light casements in ovolo moulded surrounds; central, large round-headed coach entry, now blocked.
