History

Home Farm was built in the early C19 by Sir John Nicholl, who purchased the Merthyr Mawr Estate in 1804. The cattle shed was added in the latter half of the C19 and stands on the site of Merthyr Mawr Hall, the house which was demolished when Nicholl constructed a new house further E.

Exterior

L-shaped cattle shed of rubble stone and slate roof, facing a yard on the SE side. A short N wing has, facing the yard, a stone segmental-headed doorway to R and wide doorway L under a brick segmental head and partly infilled to form a window. The longer W wing has 2 similar brick-headed doorways to R. On the L side are 2 boarded doors to calf cots, on the inner sides of which are stone buttresses, with 2 small vents beneath the eaves to the centre. At the L end is a stub wall. The rear of the S wing has a row of 4 pigsties to L under a catslide outshut roof, which each have walled pens and boarded gates inside brick jambs. At the L end is a cast iron boiler with grate and brick flue, inserted mid C20 and used for boiling swill. To the R of the pigsties is a boarded door with an over-vent, leading to a calf cot. At the R end is a stub wall. Behind the N wing is a ruined lean-to.

Interior

The roof has machine-sawn, pegged trusses with tie beams and raking struts. The 3 calf cots at the S end are partitioned with simple boarding, and have brick feeding troughs. The cattle stalls are divided by concrete walls and have concrete mangers.
