Adjacent to the homes, a further detached outbuilding has been converted to a very high standard. It is separated into two rooms and includes a convenient WC.

At the far end of the garden, a hardstanding track leads to a modern open-fronted agricultural barn currently used for storage. A five-bar gate opens into a stock-fenced paddock with clear boundaries.
