The left side of the barn features an owl hole in the gable end. The lower addition has a hipped slate roof and a single-storey lean-to with a stone tiled roof on the left side. The rear of the addition includes high doors reaching the eaves height, an external stair leading to a loading door, and a stable door.

At the rear of the main barn, there is a high gabled cart entry with lean-to additions on each side; the left side has a double Roman tiled roof, while the right side is covered with slates.
