Calfshed with single door, and cowhouse with door either end (that to the L enlarged slightly, with brick jambs to R), and blocked door to centre. The smithy has a squat gable end chimney with brick capping and stone slab capping. Concrete rendered gable copings. Single door offset to L; window opposite in rear wall. Modern breeze block garage attached to smithy S gable end.

From L to R (N to S); the root vegetable store is of 2-bays. The calfshed to R has a 2-bay roof with sawn and bolted collared trusses; timber hayrack and manger. The cowhouse has a 4-bay roof of hewn collared trusses which have evidence of being used previously. The smithy is of 2-bays; there is an upright bellows to the L of the inglenook fireplace.
