This is directly adjacent to the main building behind, but is flatter. The two garage doors are made of wood. There is a thatched hipped roof with a curved dormer .
The main house closes with thatched pitched roofs . A semicircular tower protrudes from the concave curved northwest side. There is the entrance portal, which is worked with a wide round arch . Numerous small windows are let in below the thatched conical roof . Bat dormers flank the tower. A polygonal recess emerges on the southeast side . There are twin and triple windows with window posts.
