To the right of this is a lightly sketched timber structure with a prominent dormer and roof with deep eaves visibly supported by beams from underneath. Below this drawing is another half-timber and plaster stucture identified as a "farm house".

A smaller timber structure with steeply pitched roof is attached to the rear.
