A L-shaped range of buildings is shown in the south-east corner of the farmyard on the 1842 Tithe Map and the 1890 Ordnance Survey map. The only surviving building is a single storey, gable-ended shippon at the northern end of the range. Built of rubblestone with a 20th century replacement roof clad in double Roman pantiles. All that remains of the rest of the cowsheds are the rear walls which now form the east and southern boundaries of the yard. They appear to have been open-fronted buildings.
