Description
The pig styes at Sandilands Farmhouse are a range of agricultural buildings dating from the late 19th century, with some minor alterations made in the late 20th century. They are constructed from red brick laid in common bond and feature a roof covered with Welsh slate. This single-storey range consists of six styes, each with a front pen divided by vertical stone slabs. Each stye has a low semi-circular arch-headed doorway that is fitted with a vertically boarded ledged and braced door. The front walls of the pens have brick piers that support a shallow-pitched stone coping, beneath which are stone slab feeding chutes and troughs. Each trough is accompanied by a vertically-boarded gate. At the right end of the range, there is a small single-storey feed mixing house that is attached and set at right angles to the styes. This building forms a group with Sandilands Farmhouse.
