History

An extensive model farm was begun by the Assheton-Smith family using the wealth created by Dinorwic Slate Quarries. This enabled them to carry out continual improvements to farming practice on the Vaynol Estate. The 3 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 and stores. The E side is largely blank; the W side has voussoirs and keystones to windows and door openings, with horizontal slit ventilators above. The windows are of the small pane pivot type. Central broad waggon entry. The N gable end has a similar louvred rectangular loft opening and offset boarded door. An Avery weighbridge is located at the N end. Two louvred roof ventilators.

Reasons for Listing
