There is an advanced gabled bay adjoining to the right, with a piended slate roof to the 3-light canted window to ground floor. There is a bipartite window above with a blank square panel set in the gablehead.

The former coach house and stables range adjoining the lodge comprises 2 carriage arches with non-traditional glazing, a central gable bay and advanced bay to the outer right. There is a large opening with non-traditional glazing to right of centre.
