Cadw's description
Location
The carthouse, with granary over, is located at the end of the farm road, N of the W end of the cowhouse, and by the former cross farm tracks.
Exterior
C19 carthouse of rubble stonework with a low-pitched slate roof. The open end faces N, without doors, and weatherboarded over, and the granary on the upper level is approached by stone steps with a quarter landing against a lateral wall, at the S end. Boarded doors and two small lights to the upper floor. The wall is slightly battered at the NW corner where the foundations are exposed.
Reason for designation
Included as an unaltered early C19 farm building in association with the Grade II farmhouse and cowhouse.
