Cadw's description
Location
On the NE side of the farmyard at Bodcoll, some 85m south of the farmhouse.
History
Mid-late C19 cartshed and stable (the latter used as a bull-house in more recent times). Part of a planned farmstead group on the Hafod estate, and probably therefore built by the estate.
Exterior
2-storeyed stable and cartshed with granary above. Coursed and dressed local stone laid in narrow courses; slate roof with overhanging verges. W-facing elevation has doorway to right with flat-arched voussoir head, small window immediately right of it, and 2x12-pane windows in the upper storey (with renewed concrete lintels). Gable end has 2xround-arched cart entries (one with boarded doors) and a blocked round-arched loft opening in the centre of the gable. Renewed stairs at rear lead to double doors giving access to the granary.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine C19 farm-building retaining good detail which forms part of an exceptionally well-preserved planned farmsted group.
