Farm buildings at Gwern-y-go

The farm buildings at Gwern-y-go are constructed of red brick in garden wall bond, topped with slated roofs and shaped bargeboards at the gables. The layout is symmetrical, featuring two enclosed yards divided by a large six-bay building. This building includes an open-fronted cart house with round arches and a loft above, facing the farm. On either side of this central structure are two small rectangular stock yards, each with a central gate leading to three animal houses on each side.

Each of the main square yards has a covered driftway, with framed and boarded doors providing access to a perimeter feeding walk that runs around the outer sides and along the inner side of the pens facing the small yards. The southwest yard includes a lower peninsula building that appears to be contemporary with the main structures. The buildings feature boarded stable doors set in chamfered frames and ventilated windows with slats in the lower sections. All openings have slight segmental brick heads. At the center, there is an octagonal ventilator turret topped with a spire, and some gables display panels of ventilated brickwork.

The feeding walks are spacious, allowing access to timber mangers and troughs below, which are supplied by drops from the feed storage above. Ladders provide access to the lofts. The roof collar-trusses over the central barn support two lower purlins and include raking struts to the queen posts.
