Cadw's description
Location
Vaynol Farm lies to the N of Vaynol Old Hall. This building is NW of Dairy Cottage and facing the S end of the westernmost of the 3 parallel farmyard ranges, S of the Long Barn.
History
Part of the extensive model farm begun by the Assheton-Smith family in the later C19, using wealth created by the Dinorwic Slate Quarries. This building is probably contemporary with the 3 parallel farm buildings immediately to the E.
Exterior
Built of rubble with a slate roof. Single storey, 2-bays. Gable chimney stack and framed and boarded door and one 8-pane window to left, ventilation louvres below - similar detail to the contemporary farm buildings on this farm, including the detached small range at right angles SW of the Long Barn.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with neighbouring listed items as part of the important and well preserved model farm complex of the late C19 at Vaynol Farm.
