The stables building forms the south part of the west range and is constructed of red brick laid in English garden wall bond with a straight gable to the north and half hipped gable to the south. It was built during 1909 as part of George Wreford’s refurbishment of the farm. The north end is obscured by a later 20th-century extension. The ground floor is divided into two rooms by a brick wall. The former stables in the north room has been further divided into livestock pens using concrete block walls incorporating a walkway to the west, with steps, leading to a door into the extension. The south room contains a roller mill that was formerly located within the threshing barn.
Due to the poor condition of the floor, the first floor was not accessible but was observed from the doorway. In the southwest corner is a hopper and in the floor alongside the west wall is a series of four trap doors. The roof is supported on four king-post trusses with mortice and tenon joints some of which are bolted.
The west extension is of late 20th-century date and constructed of concrete blocks with a sloping corrugated asbestos sheet roof.
