History
Built probably in the mid C19 as part of the planned farmyard layout associated with Plas-gwyn.  

Exterior
The building, which is separated from the stable/granary by a driftway, forms the NE side of the square farmyard. It is long and low, built of squared rubble and with a slated roof. Single storey with lofts. Boarded doors and ventilation windows, but a cart house at the SE end with a long stone lintel. An external stair at this end rises to a loft lit by a simple window over the carthouse entrance.  

Interior
Roof trusses with tie, tall queen posts framing a central walk way, and angle struts. Two tiers of purlins.  

Reason for designation
Included as part of an intact farmstead group at Plas Gwyn which form a well-preserved example of the courtyard layout found in the C19, associated especially with dairy and stock farming.
