Stable Range at Plas-yn-Llan including adjoining Carthouse complex

Long 2-storey rubble building with continuous slate roof. The 2-window tack room section is square and symmetrical, with a raised ground floor above a cellar; access to the latter is via a flight of sandstone steps at the R gable end. Central entrance via six segmental sandstone steps; original pegged oak doorcase with contemporary boarded door and simply-decorated iron hinges. Flanking this are tall, elegant cross windows of pegged oak, with modern wooden bars; above, under the eaves, are 2-light wooden mullioned windows, again original.

To the L , and in between the tack room and the stable proper, a single bay infill section with reduced entrance and exposed timber lintel. The adjoining stable section has 3 equally-spaced stable doors with 15-pane overlights; above these, under the eaves are fixed windows, also of 15 panes. These openings are all of c.1946. Further entrance to L gable end and a former loading bay above, now reduced to a ventilation slit. Two first-floor boarded doors with pegged frames to the raised rear. Adjoining to the S, a low C19 L-shaped carthouse addition, ranged around a quadrangular court to the side and rear of the stable block. Of rubble with old slate roofs and tiled ridges. The SE arm has a wide cart entrance with segmental brick arch and stone key; 2 plain cart openings to the R. The N arm has two further segmental arched entrances, as before, the eastern one partly collapsed.

Largely contemporary plaster finish to tack room section, with wide splays to the windows and chamfered inner faces to the mullions and transoms. Ogee-stopped-chamfered lateral ceiling beams and plain joists (originally plastered over). The stable section is of 5 bays with tall ceiling and beams as before; a later rubble partition wall bisects bay 4. Mid C19 roof with bolted roof trusses.
