Cadw's description
Location
On the NE side of the house.
History
A Gwysaney estate stable built in the mid C19 and first shown on the 1870 Ordnance Survey. Gwysaney was built in 1603 but the historic character of the estate is derived principally from its redevelopment and enlargement after Philip Davies-Cooke inherited Gwysaney in 1821.
Exterior
Lofted stable of snecked stone with bigger tooled quoins and lintels, and slate roof. An inserted wide doorway in the gable end has a wooden lintel and double boarded doors. Above it is a boarded loft door under a stone lintel, reached by external wooden stairs, and a narrow ventilation strip below the apex. The 2-window L side wall has windows under segmental lintels. A metal-framed window incorporating sliding vents is lower R under a segmental lintel, while lower R is an added projection. The loft has 2 replaced windows in original openings. The rear gable has a ventilation strip below the apex.
The R side wall has an attached monopitched shed facing the rear of the house. This is of rubble stone with tooled lintels and quoins, and slate roof with brick stack to the coped ridge. Three boarded doors face the house. At the L end is a window with small-pane metal-framed glazing above sliding vents. The rear has a small round-headed opening, probably for a small pigeon loft, and a shuttered opening to the R for delivery of coal.
Reason for designation
Listed for its contribution to the historic character of the Gwysaney Estate and for group value with Greenfields and joiners shop.
