Stable Block at Ffrwdgrech

This is a stable block forming a courtyard plan, dating from the late 19th century, with a fourth range added to the north of the courtyard. The northern range appears to be the oldest part, constructed of greenish squared stone. Its north-facing side has seven bays, alternating doors and windows, with a central door beneath a decorative, elliptical arch. The arch, door and window heads are highlighted with stone voussoirs, and there are stone sills. The windows have late 19th-century glazing with small panes at the top and two panes at the bottom. The doors are boarded with four-pane overlights. The roof is hipped and features two square, louvred ventilators topped with ogee lead caps. A coach house is set at a right angle to the northern range, employing similar construction with a large, depressed-arched entrance flanked by lunettes under the eaves. Tooled stone voussoirs and quoins are visible. This coach house has a hipped roof. A late 19th or early 20th-century coach-washing shelter with a hipped roof and iron columns is attached at the corner.

The courtyard behind the northern range features mostly late 19th-century detailing, with many openings framed in black brick and thick tile sills. The rear elevation, built of rougher rubble stone, includes an original elliptical-arched coach entry with a circular pitching eye above. Two more similar pitching eyes are located centrally and to the left, above two widely spaced windows and a door, all with cut stone voussoirs and black brick jambs. The east side of the courtyard has an elliptical-arched throughway on the left. A central gable contains a later 19th-century boarded loft opening above two openings with stone voussoirs and brick jambs – a window to the left and a door to the right. A straight joint visible by the left-hand window indicates that this section of the range is an addition. A similar louvred ventilator is present on this roof. The rear of this range shows the straight joint to the left of the throughway, followed by two later 19th-century windows and a black-brick elliptical-arched coach entry. The roof is hipped.

The south side of the courtyard has a range shorter than the north side, with a hipped west end and a partially blocked elliptical-arched coach entry facing into the courtyard. There is one late 19th-century window in the end wall. Internally, the stable block retains many original fittings, including stalls, tethering posts, tack rooms, and doors.
