Farmbuildings at Tai'r-meibion

The farm buildings at Tai'r-meibion are a U-shaped complex dating from the 18th century, arranged around three sides of a farmyard, with a boundary wall on the north side. Attached to the inner face of this wall is a long rectangular open-fronted shelter shed located in the center of the yard. The buildings are constructed from roughly coursed rubblestone and feature hipped slate roofs with ridge ventilators.

The east range includes a cowhouse on the north side and a cart shelter with a granary above on the south end, which continues as an equal-height barn in the south range. The lower western part of this range serves as stables, while a long cowhouse range runs along the west side of the yard. The cart shelter has four segmental-headed openings on the side that does not face the yard, with the southern opening providing access to the yard. There are three eaves windows, one of which has an inserted doorway below it, along with two irregularly spaced doors and windows on the cowhouse.

On the yard side of the cart shelter, there are straight-flight slate steps with stone side walls to the left of the entrance leading up to a boarded door, with an eaves window above the entrance. The barn in the south range features a wide doorway on the left side, opposite the entrance to the back wall, and two tall narrow ventilation slits on the right. The stable section has alternating ventilator windows and stable doors, with some openings altered or inserted. The non-yard side of the west range has five regularly spaced boarded doors alternating with ventilator windows, with less regularly spaced openings further along.

The open-fronted shelter shed in the center of the yard has six segmental-headed bays in its long walls, with three bays on the northern side and three on the southern side, separated by a stone cross-wall on the east side, which has now been removed on the west side. The cowhouses feature A-frame roof trusses, while the barn has a six-bay king-post roof with a loft in the western bay and a slate slab floor.
