Description
The L-shaped stable range at Bryn Eisteddfod is an early 19th century stable complex that does not appear on a 1792 estate map. It is likely associated with Hugh Chambres Jones' rebuilding phase in the mid-1830s, although it may have been built a generation earlier for his father. The structure is made of lime-rendered rubble with slate roofs and tiled ridges.
The main block faces northeast and features paired central entrances along with single outer entrances, all with brick cambered heads. The doors are boarded stable doors, some equipped with vent slits. The return section includes a large entrance facing the yard. The roof is hipped at the ends, and the southeast face is nearly symmetrical. This side originally had a central carthouse flanked by stabling or tack rooms.
Inside, there is a wide depressed arch with dressed stone voussoirs and a cobbled floor. To the left of the arch is a contemporary entrance with a pegged, chamfered doorcase and stable doors, while to the right is a large square opening that is a later enlargement. A 20th-century leaded casement window is present on the lane-facing gable, with a brick-cambered loading bay above it, and a small late 19th-century metal louvre is located on the roof.
Within the left stable, three contemporary pine loosebox partitions remain.
