Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
North Range of Farm Buildings at Pydew Farm

Denbighshire
Location
About 60 m north-north-west of Pydew Farmhouse.
Broad Class
Agriculture and Subsistence
History
The building consists of 2 loose-box stables, but that to the W contains the remains of a domestic hearth suggesting an outhouse function related to the adjacent original farmhouse. A vertical straight joint in the brickwork suggests the 2 parts may not be contemporary. The part to the E carries a datestone marked F(?) / RH / 1720 above the middle door.
Exterior
A 2-unit range in whitewashed brickwork with a roof of small C18 slates. The roof has been raised and extended at the rear.
The straight joint possibly indicating 2 periods of construction is just L of centre. To the L is an enlarged opening with a lintel and a loft doorway above. To the R is a R-of-centre door with the datestone above, a small segmental headed window, and another stable door with loft door above.
Reason for designation
An agricultural range which has retained its character; listed also for group value with Pydew farmhouse and the other listed buildings of the farmyard group.
