Description

This is a small, single-storey stable and carthouse located at Penlan-hafodwen, also known as Penlan-capel. The building is constructed from whitewashed rubble and features slate roofs with timber barges. The stable has two bays, with a boarded door on the right and a 6-pane window on the left, both supported by timber lintels. The left gable has been rebuilt in brick, and there is a 20th-century lean-to attached.

The small carthouse has a cambered and chamfered timber lintel above the entry, which is infilled with a door and a 4-pane window. To the right, there is an open store that replaces former pig-cots, with some of the original rubble walls being reused. Inside, the building has collar-truss roofs made from rough timbers.
