Cadw's description
Location
Situated across upper end of farmyard to rear of Llandyfan.
History
Substantial barn in farmyard at Llandyfan, with date 1802 prominently painted on roof trusses.
Exterior
Barn, rubble stone with dressed quoins and hipped slate roof. Two tall cart openings with stone voussoirs to cambered heads and originally with tall boarded double doors, part surviving in right door. Long slit vents to centre and each side, that to right obscured by the addition of the S range. Rear wall is near identical to front.
Interior
Twin stone flagged threshing floors. Five-bay roof of oak pegged tie-beam and collar trusses, one with painted date 1802. Stepped double purlins.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a late Georgian high-door barn of the gentry type with its formal symmetry, hipped roof and placing at the head of the yard.
