Aberglasney was built by Bishop Rudd of St Davids from 1600 and was one of the largest houses in Carmarthenshire according to the hearth-tax assessment of 1670. It was sold in 1710 to Robert Dyer, who rebuilt and extended the house in the general form in which it now survives. It has been argued that the general layout of the gardens was the work of the Rudd family in the C17. Further major development was undertaken in the early C19, after the purchase by the Philipps family, which included the construction of coach houses and farm buildings around a courtyard NW of the house.
Built as a barn to designs by George Morgan of Carmarthen in 1875-6 and first shown on the 1887 Ordnance Survey. In the 1990s it was converted into 2 dwellings known as The Coach House (N) and The Barn (S).
A rubble-stone former barn with hipped slate roof. Openings have stone voussoirs. Facing the courtyard on the E side is a central doorway with elliptical arch, while outer doorways have cambered heads, all of which have been blocked. Between the doorways are ventilation strips. Above the openings is a stone ledge and a row of pigeon holes. The rear (W) side is similar, with glazing inserted into the openings. Above the centre-R ventilation strip are 3 small inserted windows. Attached to the S end is a lower rubble-stone former stable, also with a hipped roof, and 2 camber-headed openings.
Not inspected.
