Cadw's description
Location
To the rear of Buckland farmhouse on the N side. Buckland Farm is situated near the main park entrance to N of the house.
History
Mid to late C19, part of the model farm development. Reputedly a wheelwright's repair workshop for the carts from Buckland House.
The farmhouse is C16-C17 in origin, remodelled later, particularly mid to later C19 as part of a model farm development. Previously called Wern y Berllan and appears as such and T- shaped on Tithe map of 1841, together with a farm range mainly to rear which pre-dates the expansion. OS map 1889 shows development complete. Buckland House later Hall nearby was first recorded as a Jacobean mansion c 1600 and was rebuilt for Roderick Gwynne c 1775. From mid C19 until its sale in 1935 Buckland was the property of the Gwynne Holford family. The house was rebuilt following a fire in 1898.

To right a 3 bay cart shed range, the bays divided by slender stone piers; to left the workshop with full height double boarded doors and adjacent multipane window; loft opening in gable end left, with long sloping roof of the low 2 bay outshut below which is also divided by a stone pier.
