A stable range extends westward from the north corner of the house and consisted originally of a trap house, stable and small animal house. Two mullion and transom windows in the north wall of the stable are dated circa 1700 and are thought to have come from the house when the latter was altered in the 18th century. The stable range forms part of this phase of alteration and enlargement. The animal house is a later addition. Opposite the stable range is a further range of small agricultural buildings including a raised granary and a cider house with a cider press dated 1758. These buildings have been somewhat altered. The main complex of traditional buildings comprise a separate yard to the south-east.
