To the S of the house and the southernmost of 3 parallel farm ranges.

Probably built in the C18 and shown on the 1841 Tithe map.

A rubble-stone animal house with corrugated iron roof. Facing the yard on the N side it has 2 replacement doors, of which the door R of centre is lower. In the L gable end is a loading doorway to a former loft. In the R gable end is a doorway with split boarded door.
