Poultry House

This is a highly picturesque Tudor-Gothic style poultry house, built in 1861, along with a scratching yard, storm shed, duck pond, and boundary fence. The poultry house itself comprises a gabled central range of two storeys plus attic, flanked by single-storey inner wings and lower outer wings. It is timber-framed with white-brick nogging set on a stone plinth, and has steeply pitched slate roofs, half-hipped in the outer wings. The gables feature fretted barge boards with pendant finials. The upper storey of the main range is jettied on moulded brackets and features diagonal braces. A stone tablet with the monogram "ICN" and the date 1861 in relief sits above the bressumer. Above this is a five-light window, and in the attic, a two-light window glazed below a transom with pigeon holes above. In the lower storey of the main range is a boarded door with ornate fake strap hinges and an overlight, flanked by two-light windows. The inner and outer wings have projecting gabled doorways with boarded doors and overlights. The outer wings also feature doorways in their end walls that mirror the design of the main range, with overlights and louvred panels above. The rear elevation, facing the duck pond, is similar to the front.

The storm shed, situated across the scratching yard, is constructed of brick faced in rock-faced Cefn stone and has a steeply pitched slate roof. It is open to the yard on timber posts, and contains small-pane sash windows in rusticated surrounds in each gable end. Behind the poultry house, at a lower level, is the duck pond, which was relined in the late 20th century. A boundary fence surrounds the property on the north, south, and west sides, constructed from square piers of rock-faced Cefn stone with pyramidal copings, and wood palings on a stone plinth. On the north side, only the stumps of the piers remain, some of which are blue brick. A plain metal fence, added in the late 20th century, extends along the west side beyond the duck pond. A hand pump was also added to the scratching yard in the late 20th century.

Inside, the main range has a straight staircase with hand rails and plain balusters to the first floor. A second, straight staircase with winders at the bottom leads to the attic. The front and rear windows of the main range feature coloured glass in abstract patterns. The inner wings include surviving doors to nesting boxes and lofts above. The interior is finished with a tiled floor and ledged and battened doors throughout.
