Description

This is a farm building with a vehicle entrance arch, located approximately 20 meters north-east of Blodwel Hall. It likely dates from the mid-17th century and has undergone later alterations. The structure is built of uncoursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a graded slate roof. It was once part of a longer range that included a weatherboarded timber frame, most of which was destroyed by fire in the late 20th century.

The building has two levels. On the first floor, there is a plank door to the left, accessed by external lateral steps, and an infilled chamfered 3-light wooden mullion window to the left of center. To the right, the vehicle entrance arch is flanked by a section of timber framing that has rendered woven infill and two small 4-light wooden mullion windows. There is also an infilled 3-light mullion window on the left wall of the entrance arch at ground level. Notable features include a date stone inscribed "B / IV / 1700" located between the plank door and the infilled mullion window, and another stone inscribed "S:M / 1692" positioned immediately to the right of the entrance arch's lintel.

Inside, the first floor has a chamfered cross beam and flat heavy joists. The double-purlin roof includes one collar and tie-beam truss, along with one closed queen-strut truss featuring rendered infill and V-struts from the collar. Stone is visible at the gable ends. There is a suggestion that this building may have served as the gatehouse to Blodwel Hall, although this is not definitively established.
