Opposite the cottage are the buildings and field. The detached stone building was probably built as a byre and has been maintained and is predominantly weather proof. At one time the byre was used to house cattle and many of the original fittings are still in place. The building offers an excellent opportunity for further development subject to the relevant planning consents. Beside the Byre is a useful corrugated sheet clad storage shed.

The field extends to about 4.9 acres (1.98 ha).and is predominantly bordered by wire fencing.
