History

An extensive model farm was begun by the Assheton-Smith family in the later C19 using the wealth created by the Dinorwic Slate Quarries. This enabled them to carry out continual improvements to farming practice on the Vaynol Estate. The three ranges S of the Long Barn appear later than those to the N.

Exterior

Built of rock-faced stone with a slate roof. Single storey animal accommodation with stores. Voussoirs and keystones to windows and door openings; the former boarded above and louvred, and with ventilation slots above the doorway at the right end. Broad central waggon entrance. The N gable end has rectangular louvred loft opening over a boarded door with a raised sill. Gabled louvred ventilators on the roof, skylights and a chimney at the S end.

Reasons for Listing

Included for group value with the neighbouring listed items as part of the important and well preserved model farm complex of the late C19 at Vaynol Farm.
