Description

The northwest range of farm buildings at Plas Dolbenmaen is a Grade II listed structure built from roughly coursed local stone. Originally, it had slated roofs, but the slates were removed at the time of inspection. This range forms the northern and western sides of the farmyard, which is located immediately northwest of the house. The northwest range consists of a five-bay building with lean-to extensions at the rear. It features two stable-type doors and two ventilation windows. Inside, the range includes cattle stalling and has shafting for mechanical drive within its 19th-century roof structure.
