Description

The Former Carthouse Block at Plas-yn-Cefn is a rectangular, two-storey building. The lower storey features a five-bay series of open cartbays. It is constructed from limestone rubble and brick, with stepped gables and a plain end chimney on the right side, topped with a slate roof. The cartbays are divided by plain timber posts that support a brick upper floor. Above each ground-floor opening, there are segmental relieving arches. The building also has two large timber gabled dormers that break the eaves, which contain tripartite four-pane sash windows and part-glazed, vertically-boarded gables. The dormers feature oversailing verges and plain bargeboards.
