At the west of the barn is a short cross-range now bearing the appearance of a cottage, originally probably older than the Manor, but largely reconstructed, including the west front (which has reset old timber over left ground-floor window). Flint with brick dressings. Tiled roof. Tablet on north side states: "S 1819". This item is included for its group value with the Manor.
