Disgrifiad1. Late 18th/early C19th stable and coach-house courtyard-range to adjacent Coaching Inn, Neuadd (Camden Inn).
2. A c.1800 coach-house and stables form a courtyard-range of stone buildings with arched access from the road through the north coach-house range, to stables and other early and mid 19th century buildings behind. The two-storey north coach-house range has two stone arch entries, one for a coach and the other for access to the yard. There were once probably four arches for three coaches, but the east and west coach openings have been blocked or altered, now with doorways and a window. A chimney on the south lateral wall once heated the first-floor, which was used as a servants' hall, having external access from a stair adjacent to Neuadd house. The ground-floor area below the chimney was not entered, but appears to have been used latterly as a stable and store. The 2-storey west-stable-range adjoins the coach-house, and is a 3-bay unit with one partition and trough surviving for tethering facing the west wall. It has a single lateral-entry and window to east-wall, each with cambered stone arch. A 4-bay stable in-line to the south is open to the loft, having both lateral and end-entry and originally only one window to east-wall. A 4-bay east-range of 2-storeys (not entered) adjoins the coach-house with cambered stone arches to openings. It is in-line with a further 2-bay, 2-storey stable with a loft over of same build. The 4-bay structure has a doorway and two windows to its west side and a central doorway to its east. The 2-bay stable has a window and doorway opening to the east and blocked openings to the west where it abuts the dovecote/dairy. There are loading doors at the first-floor to each unit. A 2-storey building with dovecote nesting-holes to the first-floor north side is built against the east side of the 2-bay stable. It has large windows to both external ground-floor walls, and was probably a dairy. A 3-bay open-fronted stone walled building is situated, in-line, below the 2-bay stable and may have been an implement shed. A 2-storey stone building adjoins to south with a hip-roof (not entered) and a lean-too toilet to the south. An open-fronted cart-house with adjacent building and wall form the south side of the courtyard and joins onto the implement shed, all with pitched-roofs. When visited, many of these buildings were in a poor state of repair, some were either locked or dangerous and not entered.
