Description
The stable and cow-house at Aberffrydlan is a small, symmetrical stable block built of random stone and topped with a slate roof. It features a central entrance with a segmental arch made of tall, narrow stone voussoirs, which holds a timber door frame. On either side of the entrance are small window openings with flat stone lintels; the left side retains a 2-light casement window, while the right side is open. Above the doorway, there is an added gabled dormer made of red brick, which contains an oculus.
To the left of the stable block is the lower cow-house range, which is slightly set back and also constructed of rubble stone beneath a slate roof. Originally, this range had six doors with ventilation slits between them. The third door from the left and the right end doorways still have their original planked doors, while the others have been replaced with 6-pane wooden windows and stone infill. All the lintels above these openings have been replaced. In the center of the cow-house range is a gabled red brick dormer that contains a planked door. In front of this range, towards the right, are four small kennels made of blockwork. The rear of the building was not visible during the inspection, and there was no access to the interior at that time.
