Description
The building is a range of cartsheds and an altered range located on the south-east side of the upper farmyard at Glynllifon College Farm. It is constructed from local rubble and features slate roofs, including conical ventilators on the attached range.
The cartshed section consists of four bays, each with cambered arches made of red brick voussoirs and jambs. The leftmost arch has been infilled with a stable door and window. The loft area is partially illuminated by slit vents, similar to those on the adjacent range next to the farm office, with one vent positioned above both of the two rightmost arches and an additional pair at the far right end. Above the leftmost arch and the infilled arch, there are wider windows. At the extreme left end of the cartshed block, there are steps leading up to a loft door, which is topped by a large gabled hood. A brick chimney is located at this gable end.
The attached range has undergone significant alterations, including the insertion of wide entrances. The building was not accessible at the time of inspection.
