Exterior

Earlier Cl9 two attached ranges, a large barn to NE and a lofted stable range, later than the barn, to SW. Rubble stone with slate roofs, the barn with graded slates. Barn has two high-door cart-entries with elliptical arches, and Cilgerran stone voussoirs. Double ledged doors, the lower parts separately opening. Loop each side. Two similar rear doorways, and low elliptical arch in S end wall flanked by doorways, now internal. Rear of barn had added five-sided C19 horse engine house with hipped slate roof in 1980, but this has been reduced to only part of the outside walls, with C20 roof. Barn interior is in two parts, 7-bay and 4-bay, with stone dividing wall, trusses with two collars, the upper collar pegged, the lower stapled.
Stable range is taller with symmetrical front of 3-plus-3 bays, two storeys, the openings of even width with Cilgerran stone voussoirs to cambered arches. Six large square boarded upper windows, over ground floor two stables each with centre door and similar proportioned window each side, the windows 8-paned in upper halves, boarded below.
