Stable at Bwlch Coch Farm

The stable at Bwlch Coch Farm is a 17th-century, two-unit cross-passage regional house that underwent interior reordering around 1800. A third unit, which has external access only, was added to the right in the late 17th or early 18th century.

The building is one and a half storeys high and features two windows. It is constructed of rubble masonry and has steeply pitched quarry slate roofs laid to diminishing courses, with plain eaves and close verges. There is a square stone chimney stack on the right and a rectangular chimney set lengthwise along the ridge on the left, both with moulded caps and water tabling. The later unit also has a similar square stack with water tabling and raking gable parapets.

The house has two 18th-century gabled stone dormers, both with close verges and laced valleys, but with modern windows. The ground floor has modern windows with dropped sills and stone lintels. A broad doorway, offset to the left of centre, has a projecting stone lintel that forms a dripstone, leading to a modern door. There is also a broad doorway to the later unit, featuring a stone lintel and a strap and pintle hung plank door.

The rear elevation of the house mirrors the front, with a projecting lintel over a former back door that has been converted into a window. There is a small window to the right, a blocked window to the left, and stone lintels above. The rear of the later unit has a window with a stone lintel set under the eaves.

Adjoining to the left is an early 19th-century lofted cowhouse, also built of coursed rubble masonry, with a steeply pitched quarry slate roof, diminishing courses, plain eaves, and close verges. It features a central doorway with a deep stone lintel and a split door, a loft door set under the eaves to the left, and a vent to the gable end. There is a stone lintel over the split door on the rear.

Inside, the stable has stop-chamfered transverse ceiling beams, with the end beams resting against the walls on stone corbels. The joists are similarly stop-chamfered, and there is a bressumer over the broad fireplace. A dog-leg stair from around 1800 leads to the centre of the house. The interior of the later unit has not been inspected.
