Cadw's description
Location
Situated in centre of enclosed farm court at Manorafon.
History
Centre building to enclosed model farm court of c1800 at Manorafon. Marked on 1841 Tithe Map. The building seems to have been a calf-house since the C19, but may not have been that originally. An 1807 sale advertisement mentions stables for 6 horses. The arrangement of doors and wide window openings may indicate that this was originally intended as stabling.
Exterior
Farm-building, latterly calf-house, rubble stone with slate hipped roof. Single storey with matching N and S sides of window, door, window; window, door, window. Stable doors, louvred and shuttered windows, all with stone voussoirs to cambered heads. Two similar windows each end wall. One of doors on S side is blocked.
Interior
Red brick and timber dividing walls to calf-pens. Later C19 wishbone trusses to roof.
Reason for designation
Included as a component part of the important model farm group at Manorafon.
