Description

The Cart Shed, Stable, and Cow-House at Ty'n y Cellar is a 19th-century agricultural building constructed from red rubble sandstone with quoins, topped by a slate roof. The stable is oriented east-west, with its front facing south. It features a central planked door beneath a wide shallow segmental arch made of voussoirs, flanked by horizontally hung windows under similar arches; the left window has 4-over-6 panes, while the right is partially boarded. An external stone staircase on the east gable end leads to the loft, which has a planked door under a shallow segmental arch. The west gable end also has a planked door under a flat head, likely a later addition, along with a boarded hatch under a segmental head. A boundary wall extends south from the southwest corner of the building. To the left of the rear side, there is a stone lean-to with a corrugated roof, featuring stable doors under a voussoir head and two small windows at the front. Another corrugated lean-to is located to the right.

The cow-house and cart shed form a continuous L-shaped range made of snecked rock-faced stone, covered by red pan-tiled roofs with boarded eaves. The cow-house faces south and has two doors at each end, both stable doors under segmental stone voussoir heads. Between these doors are two multi-pane windows under similar arches. The cart shed has five full-height openings, with two on the left that are open and three on the right that are partially boarded, along with various window openings at the rear.

Inside the stable, there are four stalls separated by timber partitions, with a concrete partition wall on the left leading to a former loose box. The stable features a cobbled floor and a manger at the rear, while the loft above has a wooden floor.

The cow-house has a collar truss roof that has been partially renewed and a concrete floor. A passage runs along the front, and there were previously stalls behind, oriented north-south, with a manger along the rear wall.
