Description

The Estate Yard Range at Glyn Cywarch is an irregularly planned group of ancillary estate buildings, arranged around two yards. Constructed from mortared rubble masonry, the buildings feature slate roofs, some with stone copings and small rooflights.

The eastern yard opens to the east and has buildings along its north, south, and west sides. On the west side, there is a lofted cartshed and granary range, accessible via an external flight of stone steps at the far north end. To the left of the steps is a wide doorway, with a narrower doorway to the left that has a loft window set under the eaves. The south gable features a doorway and a single window that opens onto the road leading to the main house.

Along the north side of the yard is a single-storey range, lower at the west end, likely originally used as stables and a cartshed. The eastern range has two stable doors alternating with large three-light, small-paned windows. The western end of this range is advanced, featuring a wide doorway at the left end and a narrower doorway at the far left. The southern side of the yard likely housed the original cow-house, which has two doorways in the south wall that open onto the road to the main house. An open-fronted storage shed has been added in the yard along the north wall of this range.

Parallel to the western range of the eastern yard is a block that forms the eastern range of the western yard. These buildings are linked by a single-storeyed range with a wide doorway towards the centre of the south wall, and the flanking walls have windows set directly under the overhanging eaves.

The western yard is partially cobbled and opens to the south. Its buildings have undergone alterations in the 20th century, including an eastern range with a doorway in the south gable and a lean-to addition along the west wall, which has a doorway offset to the north and is flanked by four-light windows under the eaves. The single-storey northern range features a doorway to the right and a blocked window to the left. The western range has a wide central opening and has been re-roofed with profile sheeting; it includes a single doorway in the south gable and another doorway in the lean-to addition at the rear.
