Cadw's description
Location
Ffynogion is located on a by-lane off the W side of Wrexham Road. The service building is immediately W of the farmhouse, and is cut into a steep slope which runs down to the River Clwyd.
History
A service building, which probably included a bakehouse and washhouse. The surviving timber-framing suggests a C17-18 date, but it was probably remodelled in the late C18-early C19. Shown on the Tithe map of 1839.
Exterior
Range of one-and-a-half storeys. The E front is box-panelled with brick nogging, the W side is of red brick, and the S gable end is of coursed stone blocks; slate roof; external brick stack to N gable end. The E side has a doorway offset to R, the door missing, and a small casement window to L with segmental brick head. W side, partly seen, has a doorway to R end and small window openings with segmental brick heads to L, centre and R. Attic has small openings to centre and R, immediately under the eaves.
Interior
Interior not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed as a large free-standing service building, rare in this area, and for group value with Ffynogion.
