Probably mid-late C19 stable, built on a plot of land named as Glan William in the tithe apportionment of the parish, 1840; owned by Maria Shaw and occupied by William Jones Esq.
Offered up for sale in the auction of the Plas Tan-y-bwlch estate, 1910, in Lot 12 'The Picturesque Rural Village of Maentwrog'. The property was described as Stable and coach house with loft over, rented by Mr Thomas Roberts, for an annual rent of £1-0s-0d (£1.00).

To R are 2 ground floor windows, 4-pane lights over hit and miss ventilators; offset to far R is a drain at ground level. The first floor has a boarded pitching door towards the centre of the range flanked by windows housing louvred vents in a chevron pattern.

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey (June/July 2003).
