About 250m north east of Wyelands on the west side of Mathern Road.
History
The bunkhouse and granary of the Wyelands home farm built in about 1830.
Exterior
Constructed of local rubble stone rendered to the front and with a hipped Welsh slate roof. Two storeyed building which is in two sections, with stores and granary to the left and a three bay house to the right. Plain plank door and three windows below and five above, 2-light small paned casements to the house part, 2-light unglazed openings to the granary. Red brick stack for the bunkhouse on the right hand return wall. The rear elevation adjoins the barn (qv) and has an external stair to the granary with a door and a 2-light unglazed window. The gable wall has a cart house with a large elliptical relieving arch above.
Interior
The interior was not available for inspection at resurvey, but it could be expected to be extremely plain.
Reason for designation
Included as a good farm building of a small home farm for an early C19 country house, and for its group value with the other listed buildings at Wyelands, especially those of the home farm itself.
