Cast-iron rainwater goods throughout. Roughly coursed rubble stone walls, with red brick block-and-start quoins, and some cast-iron wall-ties. Recent oriel window to south gable of west block. Gauged red brick square-headed openings, with replacement timber fittings, including some timber sliding sash windows, with dressed stone sills.

Appraisal
This group of former outbuildings provides contextual interest for the adjacent country house, and stands as a reminder of the provision made for the stabling of horses and other livestock, as well as storage of machinery and crops grown on the land. Although it has been altered to a residential use, it retains much of its original form and character.
