History

Built probably late C18, originally perhaps with thatched roof. Walls raised, roof pitch reduced and roof slated mid-late C19. Door to corn barn widened mid C20. Loft removed from stable C20.

Exterior

Linear farm range aligned N-S, with corn barn to L, lofted cartshed and stable to centre (with higher roof level), and second lofted stable to R. Lean-to pigsty to L gable. Rubble walls with widely slobbered mortar, roofs of small slates, partly grouted; tiled copings and ridge. Corn barn with narrow door offset to L, one ventilation slit to L and two to R. Timber lintels. The winnowing door in the rear wall has been widened. External stone staircase to 2-window granary loft, which extends over the cartshed and feedroom/stable to R. Boarded door to granary; windows are agricultural pattern with small-paned upper lights. One-bay cartshed to R of staircase; cambered head with rubble stone voussoirs. Feedroom/stable to R of cartshed, a narrow door with opposed door in rear wall. Lofted stable to R, with lower roof height; single door to main elevation with small window to R and blocked pitching hole to R gable wall. Formerly lofted with evidence of rear staircase leading to servants quarters.
To the rear (W) of the range is a square walled stackyard, with three former entrances marked by massive gateposts, aligned consecutively along the S wall. The outer walls of the stackyard are of clawdd construction (stone-faced, earth banks with turf capping), and border the road leading to Porth Swtan.

Interior

The corn barn is 4-bays with collared trusses. Granary is 4-bays, with sawn and bolted collared trusses; torching to underside of roof. Feedroom/stable is of 1 bay, with boarded doors either side. Stable to R is 3-bays, with vertically-split stable door; formerly lofted with servants loft to L and hayloft to R.
