The cart house range has 2 large segmental arched entrances to R with slate-stone voussoirs; 3 stable entrances to the L with flat stone lintels. Rectangular window opening to the L of the first from R. Above the cart entrances, a slate stringcourse and a narrow 8-pane rectangular window under the eaves; to the L a boarded loading bay with catslide roof, a later alteration. Blind segmental reecess above the central stable
door with large flanking oculi. External stone-stepped and parapetted access to the R gable end leading to recessed boarded door to upper floor. To L an added lean-to with further stable door and small open window with iron grill.
Stepped-down and set back, the adjoining barn range. Weather coursing to junction with stable/coach house block, as well as to extruded lean-to bay. To the R, stone stepped access to first floor entrance with deeply-recessed boarded stable doors; upper ventilation slit to R. Diagonally below, another entrance.
