The property also includes a traditional style barn, built in 2006 of Cotswold stone construction, with interior design carried out by a well know American theatre designer. The barn includes a large games room, bar area and 12 seat, purpose-built Art Deco air-conditioned cinema, with commercial grade technology and projector equipment.
Opposite the barn, is The Jockey Cottage, a one bedroom self-contained cottage, renovated in 2003.
