A cowshed was higher than the house and was separated from it by a fire wall erected at the end of the 19th century. It had 1.5 stories, a brick ground floor, and a vertically boarded, high, half-timbered pointing sill.
A barn had a half-timbered structure with angle braces, which support struts in the upper frame of the structure. There were two threshing floors, two mows, and 4 cubbyholes.
It is possible that the barn had an additional section on the western side. Farming buildings have been taken down.
