The entrance includes a plank door set in an alternate-block surround with a keyed lintel. There is a left casement window in a stone surround and on the right return wall, a 2-light casement window is positioned beneath a Diocletian window. The harness room shares similar architectural details with a nearby pigeon and poultry house and is listed for its group value with High Farmhouse.
