Cadw's description
Location
Closes the north side of the farmyard at Lleweni Hall which is situated in its own grounds to north-east of Denbigh and reached via long drives to north and south.
History
C19 agricultural range but possibly reusing brick from those parts of the C18 that had been demolished. Served as cowhouses and milking parlour at the time when Lleweni was a large dairy farm especially when it was home to the famous Model Dairy School.
Exterior
Long 2-storey red brick building constructed in English garden wall bond; corrugated roof and brick chimney. The ground floor has mostly camber-headed small-pane metal-frame windows. A doorway has been converted into a stable door. The loft above has slit ventilators and loft doors. At the far right end there is a 2-light casement window beside the outside steps that now form the main entrance into Lleweni Hall.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as one of the ranges of the former Model Dairy School, a pioneering experiment iin rural employment, and as part of the historic Lleweni complex.
Group value with Lleweni Hall and adjacent listed buildings.
