Cadw's description
Location
Situated on the south-west side of the yard on the other side of the track to the east of the house at Plas Tirion.
History
Built in the early C19 as part of the remodelling of the house and the erection of the walled garden and other structures at this time; the building is likely to have declined in importance after the construction of new stables for riding horses in c1880.
Exterior
2-storey rectangular plan building, aligned north-west to south-east. Roughly coursed rubblestone blocks, slate hung to rear; slate roof. Front has 3 eaves windows, left and centre C20 2-light casements, right a C19 12-paned sash, but all in their roughly square original openings. Wide double doors to left on ground floor with tall fixed-light 12-paned window and boarded door under narrow rectangular overlight to centre, all with large stone lintels. Right gable end has steps to first floor with substantial lean-to hood over doorway.
Interior
First floor has A-frame trusses with high collars; evidence of former partitioning for grooms' accommodation.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-preserved early C19 stables/coach house, having strong physical and functional association with the house and other structures at Plas Tirion.
