Cadw's description

Located on the S side of the farmyard, the house to the N.

A building is shown in this location on the Tithe map of 1839, but it was probably rebuilt or remodelled in the late C19; it has early C20 alterations. Now a cow shed, but possibly stables originally.

Single-storey range constructed of random stone under a corrugated asbestos roof. The openings have cambered brick heads. Two doorways, to L of centre and R of centre, with split doors. Windows with ventilators to centre and far R. Shallow lean-to block to L, of same materials, with window to front.

Interior has simple King-post roof trusses of late C19 type. Door and 2 windows visible to rear.

Listed for group value with the farmhouse and farm buildings at Ty'n y Wern, which together form a complete farm group.
