Cowhouse and Cottage Complex at Gardd-Llygaid-y-Dydd

The Cowhouse and Cottage Complex at Gardd-Llygaid-y-Dydd is a small group of adjoining agricultural and domestic buildings arranged around a central byre, forming a rough F-plan. The structures are built from rubble, with the byre section featuring boulder foundations and kneelered slate roofs, as well as a rubble gable parapet on the northwest gable. The main entrance is located on the long southeast side, facing an older house, and consists of a modern boarded door with a slatestone lintel. To the left of the entrance, there is early scratch graffiti, including the date 1723 and the name Owen Hughes. The left gable of the block has a 19th-century nine-pane sash window on the ground floor and a similar window in the upper loft. The opposite gable end features two small outer lights with plain glazing and deep inward splays.

The domestic section, which is a 19th-century addition to the byre, faces northwest and forms an L-shaped block. This section includes squat end chimneys and modern 8-pane casement windows, as well as a gabled dormer in the upper floor of the 19th-century part, along with a part-glazed door. The brewhouse section also has a squat gable end chimney.

Inside the primary section, there is an old ladder providing access to a first-floor sleeping loft. The roof consists of two bays with a collar truss (the collar has been removed) and features some vertical boarding beneath the principals, all limed. In the far bay, there is a plain built-in bedstead, likely from the first half of the 19th century, with cord stringing.
