One of Four Linked Outbuildings forming Courtyard at Llanfair

This is one of four linked outbuildings forming a courtyard at Llanfair, built as part of a larger complex of farm buildings and estate houses for the Thomas family. The buildings date to 1797 and 1847. They are constructed of rubble stone with slate roofs, and are mostly two-storey in height.

The east range has an even roofline, with a hipped angle at the outer northeast corner. The interior of the east range is now open to the roof. This range features camber-headed doors and small windows, all with stone voussoirs. A loading door is located towards the southern end, and a concrete block lean-to is attached to the centre. An arched cartshed entry is situated at the north end. The north range has two similar cart entries above which are windows, followed by a tall barn entry with a cambered arch and then four well-spaced bays with alternate doors and windows below, and three windows and a loading door above. The barn has a nine-bay collar truss roof and is lofted for four bays. The roofs of the north and east ranges are similar throughout, suggesting a construction date around 1847.

The west range also appears to date to the mid-19th century. It includes a lower two-storey outbuilding at the northwest corner, linking to a larger block of two-storey estate housing. On the west range, the outbuildings contain four bays of pig-sties, an enclosed section, and a cartshed arch in the northwest angle. The estate housing section originally comprised three two-window houses with close-spaced arched windows and doors, framed by ashlar voussoirs. One door has been converted into a window. Two broader bays are located to the left, with arched cart-entries below and similar windows above. These cart entries are now glazed. The windows are small-paned narrow casements with single-pane fanlights above. A single stone stack is also present.

Adjoining the complex to the south is a gabled stone gateway with dove-holes, a large ashlar arch, and wrought iron gates, aligned with a similar entrance gateway at the southeast angle of the yard.

The single-storey south range shows clear evidence of two distinct periods of building. The upper, left end, featuring six stone-voussoir arches, has a straight vertical joint, indicating an earlier construction phase, and older pegged collar trusses. Two arches have been blocked. A southeastern gabled entry leads to the courtyard, with an arched opening and a coped gable linked to a square stone stack on either side. The original gates are now preserved on the end wall of the east range. The south range continues westward with an arched window with a brick arch, a tall arched door, an arched cart-entry, all framed by stone voussoirs, and then two smaller doors. The range appears to have originally functioned as a stable, loose-box, coach-house, and tack-room.
