Later the residence of Sir George Elliott, managing director of the Powell Dyffryn Steam Coal Co. Converted to offices C20. Building lines show the structure to have been built in stages. Appears as Aberamman Isha on Tithe Map of 1847 with the long stable range as at present but with an additional small cross wing at NE no longer in situ.
An exceptionally long range of roughly coursed rubble with dressed stone dressings and a corrugated roof with overhanging eaves. In four sections. Centre left is a barn with tall round-headed wagon archway with voussoirs flanked by 2 tiers of 2 ventilation slits on each side; modern metal garage door. On uphill side (right) is a section with 3 round-arched openings: central doorway and flanking windows with brick sills and blocked similar arched loft openings. At far end right is a section with originally 3 wide segmental-arched cart/carriage bays, 2 blocked with masonry and later smaller doors and one altered to a wide square headed garage opening; above are 3 round-arched loft openings with metal grilles. Downill from barn, the arches are flatter; 3 segmental arched openings to loft with grilles and 5 to ground floor, originally doors but 3 converted to windows, boarded. Fewer and mostly blocked openings to rear. Blocked oculus and square-headed opening in downhill gable end; in uphill gable end the ends of metal ties at purlin level are visible in the masonry.
Listed as a fine ancilliary range of pre-1847 date to the formerly important Aberaman House.
