Location
On the W side of the house.
History
Early C19 and shown on the 1840 Tithe map.
Exterior
Stables of limewashed rubble with slate roof. Openings have wooden lintels. The doorway to the R of centre has boarded window to the R and hopper window to the L. Attached at right angles at the uphill end are stone gate piers with ball finials that served as the entrance to this courtyard from a former lane that ran W at the foot of the hill. Attached to the lower gable end is a later, lower rubble-stone range in line.
Interior
The stables are lofted and retain stalls.
Reason for designation
Listed as well-preserved C19 stables and gate piers, and for group value with Gilfach-y-Berthog house and barn.
