Single storey rubble lean-to to the E, abutting the stepped path; the NE corner of the main range is rounded. 2 similar dormers tothe rear, flanking the first arm of the building's L-shaped rear projection; both were originally entrances, that to the R now a modern window. That to the L has original stepped and parapeted access leading to a modern 9-panelled, part glazed door; this is the entrance to Upper Cottage. A passageway beneath the stepped access leads to a small courtyard, open to the W.
