Description

Cae-ysgubor is a smallholder's cottage with an attached cowhouse and stable, constructed from irregularly coursed rubblestone. The stable shows traces of limewash, while the front wall of the cottage is roughcast with painted cement-rendered architraves around the door and windows. The building has a slate roof and a long rectangular plan that runs roughly from north-east to south-west. The cottage features a two-room layout at its center, with a contemporary stable to the left and a cowhouse to the right, all under the same roofline.

The cottage includes a 9-pane sash window to the left and a Victorian sash window to the right of the central entrance, both with slate cills. There is a small horizontal sliding sash window below the eaves on the back wall, also with a slate cill. Rendered ridge stacks with slate drips are located at the junctions with the stable and cowhouse. The stable has a central door and ventilation slits on either side, along with an inserted opening in the gable end. The cowhouse, part of which was converted for domestic use in the 20th century, has opposed doorways on the far left, with the back doorway infilled and a 20th-century window added. A lean-to pigsty is attached to the back wall on the right. There is a slightly lower, now ruinous addition to the cowhouse at the right gable end. A slate path runs in front of the cottage and stable.

Inside, the cottage features a croglofft above the left room, which has exposed joists and a timber spine partition that divides the room into two spaces, possibly reflecting the original layout. There is a cast-iron decorative Victorian fireplace in the front part of the room. The main room has a quarry tile floor and a short heck screen immediately to the right of the entrance, with the position of a former fixed dresser visible on the back wall. Access to the croglofft is from the main room. The ceilings throughout, including in the part of the cowhouse that has been converted for domestic use, are boarded. The stable also contains a hayloft.
