Two buildings to the west of the ruined house have recently been purchased by the Landmark Trust for restoration. They are the library of circa 1680 (Grade II*) and the Orangery (Grade II). The orangery is circa 1720 with a late 19th century glass roof supported on decorated cast iron brackets. It is proposed to replace this roof with a hipped slate roof in keeping with the original 18th century design.
