The plot currently incorporates a range of traditional brick construction stables/barns with pitched slate roofs, with the buildings being set around a central courtyard area, adjacent to an outdoor arena and paddock. The existing buildings comprise of an 'L'-shaped barn and former Shippon, along with a further open-sided storage building positioned to the East of the courtyard, with the buildings currently being used for equestrian stabling and barn accommodation/storage.
