At the back of the site are a range of outbuildings. The main building is a stable complex with five indoor stables, a tack room, and covered storage area to the rear. Adjoining this building is an open hay store. The next building is used as a store with kitchen, cloakroom and large room, whilst the mirror side is a building that was originally used as kennels with a cloakroom, kitchenette, grooming room and bath area. This building now requires renovation and repair.
Finally, in the corner of the grounds are the landscaped gardens with raised pond and decking that overlook the Grade II* Listed windmill.
The windmill was built in Woodbridge and moved to Ramsey in 1842 and used until the second world war. Between 1974 and 1978 it was restored. The windmill is a post mill with a three storey round house and measures some 48’ high and has 4 patent sails. The lower two levels are currently used with a connecting ladder between the two.
To the rear of the site are gates that lead through to a field that has been rented from the landowner as paddock land of approximately 3 acres. If required, enquiries could be made to whether this could be extended to any new owner of Windmill House.
