An outbuilding according to the Cambridge dictionary is "a usually small building near to and on the same piece of land as a larger building", so I think it's better to stick to farm building. You could also use farm outhouse or farm shed. I think they're all equally acceptable.

For the record, bygning is with just the two g's, and a bridging s is usually inserted in the gap - as in driftsbygning.
Note from asker:
| Thanks. Yes, this would be one of many spelling mistakes in the original. Granted, I have been known to slip in a few typos in my KudoZ questions. |
