Between 1839 and 1871 the shippon extension was added to the eastern end of the threshing barn, filling the gap between it and the 17th century shippon to the east. It is one-and-a-half storeys, with a door opening in the south wall with a segmental brick arch resting on stone jambs. The segmental brick arch is similar, although not identical, to those in the eastern front of the barn north of the farmhouse. There is an opposing door to the north with a two-light window above. At some point the east wall of the barn has been demolished, but the remains can still be seen on the interior elevations. See report for full details.
