To left of hall, but now completely walled off, is an outbuilding with front door at right-hand side; this was probably the original front door to house also, although there is no sign of an opposing door in rear wall.

Outbuilding has old cobbled floor, but no drain or other evidence to prove this was a shippon. The present shippon also has old cobbled floor, this time with central drain. Outbuilding, barn and shippon have C20 roof-timbers. Owner says that in old deeds the house is called Middle Dunstone.
