Cadw's description
Location
Set well back, along a private trackway, from a country road which leads N off the A5025 towards the village of Llanbedrgoch. The farm is c1.5kms S of the village and 1.5kms NW of Pentraeth. The building is to ENE of the house.
History
Probably C18 or early C19, contemporary with the farmhouse and adjacent agricultural range.
Exterior
Built of coursed rubble with large stones as quoins, part with widely slobbered mortar. Roof of small slates with tiled ridge and stone coping at E gable. The boiling house opens out onto a cobble area in the SE corner of the farmyard. It has a boarded door to R (W) end of the NW wall; another in the E gable opens into the pigsties which retain feed chutes along the E sty wall.
Interior
Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good C18 or early C19 agricultural building which retains a strong vernacular character and forms a coherent group with the adjacent farm buildings.
