Linked to the north side of the house is a small 2- storey early C20 circular tower by Louis Sarel (see also Spexhall Manor and Fairstead Farmhouse, Spexhall) with a conical plaintiled roof surmounted by a square open belfry containing one bell; both storeys have single-light fixed windows with diamond-leaded panes.
