THRESHING MILL: linking cartshed and granary, single storey. 3 infilled windows to N elevation, small piended annex to S. Tall chimney in yellow brick, cope missing.

GRANARY: runs perpendicular to rest of range. N elevation 2-storey with plain attic pediment, segmental arch to ground with large 2-leaf boarded door, boarded opening to 1st floor, simple oculus to attic. Rises to 3-storey with falling ground to S piended, irregular, various door and windows openings large and small, probably of differing ages, several infilled. Access to top floor by arched stone ramp from W. Single storey piended buildings, partly byres, extend to E.
