Description

The Coachhouse, part of Cwm-cidy Farm, consists of former farm buildings arranged around two yards, an older rickyard and a stockyard, now converted into three houses (Nos. 1-3). The buildings date primarily to the 18th century, with additions made around 1858. The complex is constructed of squared dressed limestone in regular courses, with openings featuring stone voussoir heads. The roofs are hipped and covered in Welsh slate, and four stone chimneys have been added to the separate ranges.

The south-east elevation of the former barn has four wide bays. It features modern hardwood windows and doors set in largely unaltered openings, including a prominent elliptical-headed doorway on the ground floor. Further along, there are two glazed vents above a window, a doorway accessed by an external stone staircase, and two more windows. The rear elevation, not visible during the most recent survey, is said to have contained a cartshed with four segmental arched entrances. Adjoining the eastern end of the rear elevation is a polygonal engine house, constructed around 1858. Originally it likely had six round-headed openings; one was blocked and another enlarged by 1975. A lower wing, located at the north-east side of the western yard, supports the barn. Its front wall has a doorway flanked by windows, while the southern portion originally served as an animal shed or an implement shed, with five semi-elliptical headed openings.

The front wall of the south-west range (No. 1), which is also lower, includes a doorway, two windows, a second doorway, and another window, all with modern hardwood joinery. North-east and north-west wings were added around 1858 in a matching style and materials. The front wall of the north-east range (No. 3) has four semi-elliptical arched openings towards the northern end and three openings with stone voussoirs towards the south, all now fitted with modern hardwood joinery. The rear elevation of this range is blank. The adjacent range to the left has five French casements and a small window; its rear elevation was not visible during the resurvey. The rear wall of No. 2 on the left has a single small window.

Interior features remain limited, primarily to the roof trusses.
