History
Built by the Henllys estate in 1811 (date on building) and shown on the 1847 Tithe map.  

Exterior
An L-shaped building comprising the former smithy with stabling to the R and cottage in a rear wing. It is single storey, of whitened rubble stone, hipped slate roof with renewed slates over the former stable on the R-hand side. The smithy has a pointed doorway with split boarded door and small-pane overlight. An inscription, outlined in paint, reads 'H LM 1811'. It is flanked by 2-light small-pane windows in original pointed openings. To the R the stable has double boarded doors under a modern head, lower similar doors under a cambered brick head and, set back to the R end, another similar pair of doors under a lintel. The L end wall of the smithy has a 2-light small-pane casement under a brick segmental head. The 2-window cottage has end stacks, heightened and rendered to the L, whitened stone to the R. It has central half-glazed door and replacement windows to the R and L.

Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as an estate smithy and cottage retaining C19 character, and for its contribution to the setting of the church.
