The cow house has 4 lintelled doorways with split boarded doors and 2 shuttered loft openings. In the uphill gable end is a loft doorway and attached kennel. The stable has 2 doors and 2 windows, all under stone segmental heads, of which the L-hand doorway has double doors, and the narrower doorway R of centre a boarded door under an overlight. Two loft openings have boarded shutters. A farmyard wall is attached at the downhill end.
