Description
The farm buildings and screen wall at Llwyn Coed are a group of estate farm structures that include a cowhouse, stable, cart shelter, pigsties, and a feed mixing shed, arranged around a roughly square-shaped yard. The screen wall and an archway are located to the east, while a hay barn projects at right angles from the north side of the yard. The buildings are constructed from very roughly coursed rubblestone with buttered pointing, featuring red brick arches in the cart shelter and screen wall. The roofs are made of slate with slate-coped verges, except for the hay barn, which has a tin roof.
The screen wall has stone-on-edge coping and an elliptical arch leading into the yard, flanked by the gable ends of the cowhouse to the south and the feed mixing shed to the north, both of which are part of the screen wall. The yard elevation of the cowhouse includes a doorway on the left, two windows in the center, and two doorways on the right, all with slate lintels. There are small cast-iron rooflights present as well. The stable, positioned at right angles to the north, has a ventilation slit on the left and a central doorway. The cart shelter features an elliptical arch and is located in the same range to the right.
The feed mixing shed, also known as the bothy, has a central brick ridge stack, a doorway on the right, and a window on the left, along with another doorway on the yard gable end. Attached to the north are two roughly square-shaped pigsties with slate slab dividers and iron doors, along with a further square-shaped enclosure on the west side. The hay barn, which is mostly hidden from view by modern farm buildings, is open in three bays along its long sides, supported by square piers, and has solid gable ends, with the north wall forming the boundary of the main yard. Inside, the hay barn features sawn A-frame trusses and lime torching between the rafters.
