Attached on north side of northern wall of central square are two early C19 potting sheds. These are of red brick in English bond with half-hipped slate roofs. One storey: two casement windows. One leaded light window survives. Interior has brick floors and reused timbers to roof. Attached to south side of north wall of central square is a range of greenhouses. Central part has had the central feature replaced in late C20 after a gale. Flanking this are lean to greenhouses on brick base. Front walls have pivoting casements. Sixteen bays to west and eighteen bays to east, with three, cambered brick arches to east. Interior has pulleys for providing roof ventilation. At either end are attached pavilions.

The east pavilion was similar but most of the east wall and the glass were missing at time of survey because of gale damage.
