Description

The cow house at Gelli Bach is a 19th-century structure built from rubble stone, featuring bullnose brick dressings and brick quoins. It has a slate roof with a small skylight added. The front of the building faces the yard and includes three segmental-headed doorways, each fitted with boarded doors. On the right end, there is a small blockwork shed. The right gable end has a segmental-headed metal-framed window with sliding vents, positioned above a tablet that reads 'H&S B 1895' in raised letters and numerals. The rear elevation mirrors this with a similar metal-framed window on the left and a boarded door on the right. Additionally, a blockwork projection is built against the left gable end.
