Description
The former coach house and stable range at Plas Tan-y-bwlch is a lofted structure designed in a Tudor gothic style, constructed from coursed local stone featuring large stones as quoins and lintels. It has a slate roof with stone copings. The main façade faces a cobbled yard, which is enclosed by decorative railings set between square stone columns topped with pyramidal caps and ball finials. The entrance to the yard is located at the eastern end, marked by monolithic gate piers that have similar capping and finials.
The central block of the range is slightly set forward and features a central, shallow pointed arched doorway with a two-light overlight and a shaped hoodmould. The flanking cartshed bays have similar arched heads and double boarded doors. At the center of the block, there is a large dormer that contains a three-light window with a shaped hoodmould.
The flanking wings each have shallow pointed arched doorways that house boarded doors, with a similarly shaped four-pane window above in a gabled half dormer that interrupts the eaves line. The flanking windows are also four-paned lights.
Currently, the building is used as a lecture theatre, with some stalls retained at the eastern end.
