At the west end of the farmhouse is a single storey outbuilding probably a dairy, with a pantiled roof which projects over the eaves to rest on posts, thus forming a covered walkway; single and 2-light casement windows as north elevation of the house. Beyond are 2 further outbuildings: the first with a pitched roof is a former bakehouse and has a tall 3-light window; the larger and westernmost building is a former dovecote, now a garage, with sawn ashlar nesting boxes inside. A low coursed rubble wall with an ashlar coping encloses the garden in front of the farmhouse; low square ashlar gatepiers in centre of north side and taller piers at south east corner.
