Cadw's description
Location
Located on the NE facing slope, on the E side of the farmyard, lying some 20m E of the E gable end of the farmhouse.
History
C17; possibly contemporary with the remodelling of the earliest part of the Old farmhouse and the building of the barn. Its function is unclear but it may have been a bakehouse, or even a secondary dwelling house for and extended family or farm workers.
Exterior
Probably C17 or early C18. Small single storey 2-bay rubble stone building with a corrugated iron roof. Diamond mullioned window and dripstone to the opening right of off-centre entrance. Internally, there is a tie beam roof truss, original wall plates, and chimney to the uphill end with salt cupboards.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Old Gwrlodde farmhouse and barn, as part of this good farmyard group at Gwrlodde.
