Making stable overlooking yard and farm buildings (8)

I believe the answer is:

steading

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'farm buildings' is the definition.
'steading' can be an answer for 'farm' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'buildings' bit.

'making stable overlooking yard' is the wordplay.
'making stable' becomes 'steadying' (I've seen this before).
'overlooking' is a deletion indicator.
'yard' becomes 'y' (abbreviation).
'steadying' with 'y' taken away is 'STEADING'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
