Cadw's description
Location
Within the garden of Cascade House, adjacent to the front wall.
History
Part of the original farm complex, shown on Tithe Map before farmhouse conversion to colliery owner's residence. Probably originally a stable and the precursor of the stable of 1838 at the end of the drive; it was reputedly used later as a school.
Exterior
Small farm building of whitewashed rubble with Welsh slate roof. Main frontage faces farmyard with 2 cambered-arched side windows and two adjacent blocked doorways, one cambered-arched and one round-arched. Loft has window in gable end and cart bay beneath.
Reason for designation
Included as a traditional farm building associated with and for group value with Cascade House.
