History
Plas Moel-y-Garnedd was built in mid C19 for a retired Head Ostler to Queen Victoria. Masonry break indicates that the Stables and Coach-house are of two periods, having been enlarged to right in later C19 - possibly contemporary with the remodelling of house. Shown complete on 1st edition OS map, surveyed in 1886. The complex was converted into letting units in the 1990s.

Reason for designation
Included for group value with Plas Moel-y-Garnedd and Nant-y-Meirch Cottage and attached agricultural range.
