Former Cottesmore Hall outbuildings
The Hall itself was seriously damaged by fire in 1928 and the remains finally demolished in 1974. This range may include material from as early as about 1500 although what can be seen is probably 17th or 18th century. It was probably stabling, incorporating a cottage and is now completely converted to residential use. Listed Grade II.

The Tithe Barn
A large stone barn with origins in the 15th century, although much altered, it belonged to the church but never appears to have actually served as a tithe barn. Converted in 1974 incorporating material from the demolished Cottesmore Hall, it is now a Bed and Breakfast. The rows of external pigeonholes on the gable are a notable feature.
