South Agricultural Range at Rhyd Farm

The South Agricultural Range at Rhyd Farm is a long set of farm buildings divided into three sections. The section closest to the farmhouse serves as stabling, the middle section is a barn that incorporates part of an early farmhouse, and the section farthest from the farmhouse is used as cartsheds.

The stable section is constructed of brick and features a slate roof. It has three stable doors and four windows on the front, along with two walled-up doorways and five loft hatches above. There is also a door and a small window at the rear, while the blank gable wall has a later car garage attached.

The middle section is made of stone and has a sheet steel roof. The left gable, which covers the originally domestic part, still retains its coping. There are barn doors at both the front and rear, with the front barn door having been reduced in size and a window added above an inserted lintel. This section also includes ventilation slits and a loft hatch in the later masonry on the right side.

The cartshed section is primarily built of brick and has an 18th-century roof covered with small slates. It features three wide openings for carts, with the two on the right having giant relieving arches. There is one loft door located to the right of center and two loft hatches. Stone steps at the right gable lead to a loft access door.

The central section consists of five bays, with the left three bays seemingly corresponding to the original house. In the left gable wall at first floor level, there is a fireplace with a sloping fireback and a cambered timber bressummer supported by shallowly projecting bullnose corbels; however, the chimney stack is no longer present. A later doorway, which is now blocked, was created to the left of this hearth. The domestic use of this section is further indicated by the roof truss nearest to the fireplace, which is of the tie beam and collar beam type, featuring decorative soffit chamfers and stops. The other four trusses are of a more common agricultural design.
