Cadw's description

Boiling house and pigsty range forming the S side of the U-plan farmyard at Prysan-fawr.

Probably C19 boiling house, later extensions comprise a store-shed and later pigsty.

A single storey boiling house, with limewashed rubble walls, and a pitched roof of old small slates, grouted, with an iron skylight. Brick chimney to left (E) gable end. Door to right (W) gable end. Abutting the left (E) gable end is a smaller shed of rubble with a slate roof, with a pigsty at the E end of the range.

The boiling house is of 2 bays, with a collared truss of sawn timbers. In the E gable is a central brick fireplace with a cast-iron boiler in the corner to the left (N).

Listed as a well-preserved boiling house, unusual in retaining its cast-iron boiler, which together with the pigsty forms part of a complete farmstead group with Prysan-fawr.
