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, which enabled them to undertake a programme of continual improvements on their farm estate. This range is contemporary with the 3 parallel farmyard ranges immediately S of the Long Barn.

Exterior

Built of rubble with freestone dressings, and a slate roof. Single storey, with a symmetrical W gable elevation comprising two doors and two windows, a pair facing a rubble walled yard. The openings have voussoired lintels with keystones. Part glazed and part louvred windows, and stable doors. In the gable, two keyed oculi. The building and yards were probably intended for cows with calves.

Reasons for Listing
