Description
The farm building at Lower Glyn Farm is a 5-bay structure featuring weatherboarded clad framed walls and a corrugated iron roof. It has five doors: stable doors for the cow housing on the left, with a feeding walk door in between, a central door leading to the drying bay, a high-set door for the grain store in the fourth bay from the southeast end, and a stable door at the end bay. There is also one raking dormer above the cowhouse.
The building is constructed with four well-formed cruck couples, which include a tie beam, collar, and yoke apex, with some featuring queen struts. The blades are set on sill plates. The third truss is a compound variant, likely due to later alterations. It has two tiers of purlins and outrider timbers attached to the wall plates. The structure was erected from both ends towards the middle.
