Description
Farmbuildings at Ty'n-yr-hendre are a model farm complex dating to the 18th century, arranged around a square cobbled yard. A free-standing double-sided open-fronted shelter shed, facing onto its own smaller walled enclosures, sits in the centre of the yard and is listed separately. The buildings are constructed of roughly coursed rubblestone, with lintels or voussoirs above the majority of openings, and have hipped slate roofs of varying heights, some with ridge ventilators. An entrance is located on the east side. The ranges house stabling, a 5-bay cart shelter to the south of the entrance in the east range, a barn in the south-west corner, a granary above the stabling in the two-storey section of the south range, and cow housing on the west side.
The external elevations are largely unbroken. The east range has only one window towards the far right. The west range has two windows to the barn. The north range has two windows to the left and a door and window to the right. The south range features a door to the left, a pit containing a cast-iron grinding wheel near the centre (with a 20th-century rooflight above), three windows to the right of the pit, and an eaves window to the single-storey section on the far right.
Within the yard, the southern section of the east range, to the right of the entrance, acts as a 5-bay cart shelter with tooled voussoirs to wide segmental-arched openings. This is attached to the single-storey section of the south range, which has alternating ventilator windows and boarded doors, and a wider segmental-headed opening (with a new glazed screen and door being inserted). The upper floor of the long two-storey section has three evenly spaced segmental-headed eaves windows towards the left, while the ground floor has a window, door, window, door, window, door, window, window, and door from left to right. The windows, originally ventilator windows, retain some of their original form. The barn in the west range contains a segmental-headed doorway on the left and four narrow ventilation slits to the right. The remainder of this range is a cowhouse with alternating ventilator windows and doors. The stables occupy the entire north range and the eastern part of the east range. The openings are more widely spaced at the western end of the north range to create loose boxes, with closer spacing of alternating doors and windows elsewhere in the range for conventional stables; these are mostly 19th-century originals, though some replacements have been inserted. Three brick ridge stacks are located at the eastern end of the north range.
All single-storey buildings around the yard have A-frame trusses. The barn has a king-post roof. Slate troughs, hay racks, cobbled and slate floors are present throughout. A late 20th-century milking parlour has been installed in the west range.
