Outbuildings to Gwaylod House

The outbuildings to Gwaylod House, which include a byre and smithy, were built around 1820 but may incorporate elements from earlier structures on the site. They are constructed of brick with slate roofs, while one wing features roughly coursed and squared rubble that has been raised in height with brick. The house is two stories tall and has a three-window range with a central entrance and stair hall, partly built around an earlier structure that contains the smithy and extends as the byre range to the east.

The central door has an overlight set in a moulded architrave, and the casement windows are fitted with margin lights, moulded stone sills, and entablatures. The eaves cornice is also moulded, and there are two axial stacks in the hipped roof. To the rear, there are two parallel wings; the western wing is likely contemporary with the house, while the eastern wing, which contains the smithy, is probably part of an earlier building and features an external staircase leading to an upper doorway.

The byre range to the east has later lean-to extensions on the street frontage, but earlier openings can still be seen at the rear, including outer and central doorways, a shuttered loft entrance, and ventilation slits above. There is evidence that this range has been raised in height, visible in both the external brickwork and the interior.

Inside, the house maintains its original layout and features an early 19th-century staircase with spindle balusters, a swept rail, and moulded tread ends. The rear wing contains remnants of a 19th-century forge, including a double forging hearth. This area was likely once open to the rear but has since been enclosed by lean-to extensions, with a cast iron column supporting the lintel of the earlier opening still in place. The byre range retains its internal layout and fixtures, divided into three bays with stalls separated by large stone blocks, which still have the iron bolting hooks attached in the outer bays. The king-post roof is likely a secondary feature, as there is evidence suggesting that the roof has been raised.
