Iscoyd Park was purchased in 1843 by Philip Lake Godsal, a Cheltenham coach builder, and comprised an estate of 202 acres (82 hectares) including mansion house with park, and cottages and smallholdings. Over subsequent decades farms were acquired from neighbouring landowners, mainly during the ownership of Philip William Godsal, who inherited in 1858 and died in 1896. In 1895 it was reported to the Royal Commission on Land in Wales and Monmouthshire that the Iscoyd Park estate, now expanded to 887 acres (359 hectares), had 9 farms, including Higher Lanes Bank. Of these 'six new farmhouses, bricked and slated, and homesteads to them, have been built new entirely' and 'sixteen cottages and buildings for pigs and cows have been erected'.
The ty bach was built in the late C19 and shown on the 1911 Ordnance Survey.
An outbuilding of brick with tile roof on overhanging eaves, with central brick stack. It has 2 full-height boarded doors with strap hinges.
Listed for its contribution to a strong farm group, and for its contribution to the distinctive historic character of the district provided by surviving former Iscoyd Park estate buildings, which together provide a good example of estate-sponsored improvement.
