Cadw's description
Location
Located on the SW side of the farmyard, facing the gable end of the earlier farmhouse.
Exterior
A late C18 barn of rubble stone with a slate roof. Five bays, with central cartway, the full height doors replaced. Unusually long ventilation slits to each bay, both sides, and to gables. Small door from yard to the SE end bay. C20 cattle shed attached to rear - not of special interest.
Interior
Tie beam trusses with thin raking struts to the principal rafters. Two tiers of purlins.
Reason for designation
Included as a well built example of a late C18/early C19 Breconshire barn and for group value with Pendre farmhouse.
