Description
Braich-y-waen farm range is an agricultural building that features a lofted four-bay section on the left (west) and a longer single-storey section added on the right. The entire structure is built from uncoursed axe-dressed quasi-rubble and has a renewed slate roof with a tile ridge. The openings are generally segmental and lack sills. The left section includes a door, a window, and a loft hatch to its left, followed by a heck door and loft hatch, then a raised door with steps leading to the barn bay in a tall opening with boarding above the door, and finally a heck door and hatch on the right.
The single-storey section has a pair of doors centrally located for one of the calves bays. To the left, there are heck doors and two small windows for the cow and calves bays, along with a heck door for the bull bay. On the right side, there is a door and two small windows for the cows bays, as well as a heck door and a small window for the second calves bay.
According to Rees's 1950 survey, the long agricultural range originally consisted of a single-bay granary above a store-room on the west side, with a long cowhouse range that included a feeding walk at the rear. This part also contains a barn and a machine room closer to the house. An engine house was added at the rear.
