Description

The Old Coach House at Maes-Caradoc is a combined coach-house and stables built in the 19th century. It has a cruciform plan layout and is aligned roughly north-south, with lean-to aisles on the east and west sides. The structure is made of roughly coursed rubblestone, with some squared blocks at the apparently rebuilt apex of the north gable end, and features a slate roof.

Original tall, wide entrances are visible on both gable ends, particularly clear on the south side, but these have been infilled with stone. The north entrance has boarded pitching doors, while the south side has a ventilation slit. Above the original entrance on the north gable end is a blocked roundel. The aisles contain infilled square windows in the end walls and opposing stable doors, which are flanked by ventilation slits on the side walls. There is also a tall vertical slate slab providing weather protection to the left of the doorway on the east aisle. Evidence of rebuilding can be seen on the south gable.

Inside, the main section features an A-frame truss roof in three bays, and there is evidence that the east wall was originally open. The floor is made of slate slabs.
