Description

The byre range and dairy at Buckland Farm is a long rectangular building constructed of stone rubble with tooled stone dressings. The main front facing the farmyard features three doorways and five windows, all with cambered arches under shaped single stone lintels, complete with tooled surrounds, sills, and quoins. The building has boarded stable doors and multipane Breconshire hoppers at the windows, some of which are partially surviving, along with an apron of stable flooring. The outward-facing side displays similar hoppers and doorways. The gable end facing the lane shows earlier roof pitches and has two cambered-headed hoppers on the ground floor, with a pitching door above.

Inside, the space is divided along the former valley line of a double pile roof by a limewashed elliptical arched arcade, with stalls on each side. Many of the wooden stall divisions and manger racks remain in place, and there is a feed passage running between them. The loft above was used for storing and transferring feedstuff from the adjacent mill. The roof of the higher range is vaulted, constructed of large limewashed bricks, and features small ridge ventilation holes.
