Description
This is a large outbuilding located at the rear of Min-Nant, dating from the 19th century. The building is two stories high, constructed of cement-rendered rubble with a plinth and a corrugated roof. It features a gable end with two windows set at a splayed angle to both the house and the building itself, positioned on a steep slope. The front of the building projects slightly to the left of the gable. It has cement architraves around the two-light small-pane camber-headed casement windows, a circular attic opening above, and a diamond-shaped datestone in between. Below, there is a broad commercial plaque with an erased inscription, and a segmental arched wagon entry in the center, which has an architrave and keyblocks, leading to double boarded doors. The right corner is splayed to follow the line of the hill.
On the long right-hand side, there is a very tall doorway with a keylocked architrave and a blocked-up window to the right. The southeast gable end features French windows and a six-pane hopper window, along with a small-pane casement in the attic. Behind this gable end is a tiny triangular-shaped yard, over which the first floor of the building projects, with whitewashed rubble walls. In the corner to the right is the main door, and to the left is a twelve-pane sash window. Between these, there is a cambered arch entry to the cellar, which contains three brick vaulted chambers.
Internally, the building is only storeyed over the yard and mainly consists of a rectangular hall with a beamed ceiling. There is a later partition wall at the southeast end. The staircase leading up to the upper room resembles the woodwork found at Plas Newydd, suggesting it may have been constructed from reused timbers from there. It features an elaborately carved square newel, shaped tread ends, and a steeply swept-up handrail with volute and filigree carved spandrels. Notably, there is embossed leather hanging below the balustrade, similar to the Spanish wall hangings currently found in Plas Newydd. At the top of the stairs, there is a pointed arch doorway.
