There is a date of 1852 on a porch in the lower farmyard which gives a likely date for much of the complex although there was presumably a pre-existing estate farm and the style of the arched entrance to the lower farmyard is diagnostic of the work of the 2nd Lord Newborough suggesting that part of the farm is likely to date from before 1832.
Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury.
Tall rubble barn with red brick jambs and half-hipped slate roof. The downhill (west) elevation is almost symmetrical; the off-centre camber-arched high-level cart entrance is flanked by slit ventilators on two levels and a further one over the arch. The northern end bay is storeyed with two small-pane and vented hopper windows to loft over a central square-headed boarded door with overlight. Stepped down beyond is a contemporary single-storey range with added open-fronted shelter and through passage to the upper farmyard. The southern end has further slit ventilators over an added lean-to and set back a single-storey link with the cowsheds on the south-western side of the lower farmyard; this has similar windows, stable-type door and a square-headed opening into a through passage to the upper farmyard.
The uphill (east) side is more varied. The northern bay has camber-headed cart entrance with boarded gates and the second bay from the south end has a pair of narrower, arched, cart entrances contained within a tall relieving arch, together with a slit ventilator. All these arches have red brick voussoirs. In the middle is a modern entrance with sliding doors. Three bays have loft openings; over the northern archway is a small-pane and vented hopper window and another opening with lowered sill; boarded loft door to centre and a similar opening to south end.
The single-storey continuation to the north has a square-headed opening with split-boarded door near the hipped roof end and mostly modern windows to its left. Beyond is the attached cross range of the long northern range which includes the through passage and links to the north with the former boiler house.
Not accessible at time of inspection.
Included for group value with other farm ranges at this good example of an early to mid C19 former estate farm.
