Chaff house at Uwchlawr-coed

Built to the rear and parallel to the late C17 wing the chaff house is a single storey outbuilding built of mortared rubble masonry with a roof of small old slates. The doorway is offset to the L (E) end of the rear (N) wall and there are modern lights in the S wall and W gable. Small openings in S and E walls show where power was transfered from the waterwheel (sited between the chaff house and the service rooms to rear of the W wing of the house) to chaff house and out to the rear yard (probably via drivebelt mechanism).

The interior has been converted for use as a stable but retains a simple A frame collared truss and the small (now blocked) openings that would have housed the axles transferring power from the waterwheel to both internal and external machinery.
