The dovecote and stables beyond it are Grade II Listed. The English Heritage website describes them thus:- "Dovecote now barn. Mid C18. Chequered brick with slate roof. Single-unit square plan. 2 storeys. Elevation to road has first floor loft doors. Pyramid roof with weather vane. Rear has ground floor entrance, first floor sash and wooden dormer with nesting box entrances. Right side elevation has sundial with inscription "Hora pars Vite".
