Description

The stable and cowhouse ranges at Pen-y-Clawdd Court are L-plan structures dating from the 19th century, with a shorter cross-range at the west end of a long barn, half of which is now privately owned. The buildings feature grey pennant rubble walls and a corrugated sheet metal roof, with some remaining stone tile courses at the eaves of the cowhouse.

The stable is a single storey with an attic, featuring weatherboarding on rubble footings facing the yard. The outer side has full-height rubble walls with cambered openings and vents, some of which are partly obscured by lean-tos. The roof is corrugated with stone slate eaves courses only on the yard side, and there is a small swept dormer roof towards the right end. The stable has double boarded doors offset to the left, with smaller doors and windows on the ground floor to the right. The higher two-storey cross-range cowhouse has a corrugated roof and stone slated eaves courses, a swept roof over the loading door at the north end, and various other openings. The north gable is blind.

Inside, the stable range features D-frame trusses and canted ties, with wall-plates, uprights, and studding on the northern timber-framed wall of the second section. This interior description is based on the listing from 1989 and was not verified during a resurvey in April 1997, but the visible areas suggest it remains unchanged. The cowhouse range has roughly chamfered main floor beams, and the roof is supported by Queen strut principal rafter trusses with staggered purlins, all of which are intact, along with some surviving secondary rafters.
