Cadw's description
Location
One of the buildings displayed as a part of the Llwyn-yr-eos Farmstead in the Museum of Welsh Life.
History
Built in c1890 with the cottage added in c1900. This was when the farm went over from arable to dairy and the cowsheds and pigsties date from then. The farm remained tenanted until the 1980s, and became an exhibit of the Museum of Welsh Life in 1989. It is furnished and displayed as a very complete Vale of Glamorgan farmstead of the 1930s.
Exterior
Whitewashed stone rubble with Welsh slate roofs, some of the pen walling is in brick, red brick chimneys. The yard elevation has the heavy horse stable on the left, central door with small casement window on either side and above. Taking-in door to hayloft on rear wall. Worker's house to the left of this with door and single window as before. Lean-to kitchen on rear with tall brick stack.
Accommodation for pigs and the brewery are beyond.
Attached single storey cowhouse range behind the stable. This has two doors and four windows and then goes into a modern extension.
Interior
In very unaltered condition with original fittings.
Reason for designation
Included for group value as part of the very complete Llwyn-yr-eos Farmstead.
