Description

The former cowhouse at Llwyndu is a low rubble building dating from the 18th century. It features boulder foundations and an undulating slate roof that is heavily grouted, along with gable parapets. There is an off-centre doorway on the left side with a recessed square light to the far left. A narrower doorway is located on the west gable end, complete with a timber lintel. The east gable has an upper loading bay, while the west gable apex includes a ventilation slit. Inside, the building has a four-bay layout and was formerly lofted, with some cruck blades that may have been repositioned.
