The two-storey north-west range is the longer of the two ranges fronting the northern side of the main farmyard, and seems to pre-date the adjacent north-east range to the east. Approximately 30.40 metres by 5.8 metres and built of regular red brick laid to a manily Englsih Bond at ground floor and Flemish Bond above.
On the south elevation there are a series of ground-floor openings of at least three phases. The original openings have brick segmental arched heads whilst most of the modern window opeinings with concrete lintels and steel windows are of mid 20th century date. At that time the original windows were also altered.
There is a broad inserted double doorway with timber lintel and, at the eastern end, one of the original doorways has been narrowed in brick.
Originally there appear to have been four doorways and four windows, one since blocked in brick. At first floor there are three loft openings, their heads beneath the eaves.
The north elevation is mostly obscured by a large steel-framed shed. It has one doorway with a brick-arched segmental head. This wall is also pierced by some diamond pattern vents.
The west gable elevation has two primary openings, both with segmental arched brick heads - a ground floor window, modernised in mid 20th century, and a first floor full-height doorway with plank door.
The roof is plain gabled and covered with machine-made pantiles. The trusses are of scissor-brace type, supporting a single tier of purlins and a ridge-board.
The interior is lofted and divided into three irregular spaces by brick cross walls. The largest space is in the middle, with a large double doorway at the east end of its south wall that is clearly a modern insertion. It appears to have replaced one of two primary doorways in this elevation. The other, at the west end, survives complete with its stable door. There is also a small primary doorway towards the east end of the north wall. The space is lit by two inserved mid 20th century windwos, either side of a single blocked primary window. At the north end of both cross walls are doorways that could be primary, and another at the south end of the east end wall.
The smallest space is at the west end, accessed by a primary doorway in the south wall and lit by primary windows in the south and west walls. It contains mid 20th century stallage against the north wall.
This range appears to have been built on the northern side of the remodelled farmyard in the late 19th century.
