A mid C19th group of 3 detached red brick farm buildings are aligned to form a 'T'shaped plan. They consist of a 3-bay corn-barn with granary & stable, an 8-bay hay-barn and an 8-door cow-house.

Corn barn
This barn is now of 3-bays with large opposed doorways and central threshing-bay. There are 2 further bays, a flanking 2-storey granary to N. and lean-too stable to S. It was originally designed as a 5-bay barn with central threshing bay. The side walls are only 24 cm. thick but increase to 36 cm. deep piers at each roof-truss, while the gable-end is 46cm. thick. Evidence for alteration to the design is indicated by the miss-alignment of the dividing walls to the roof-truss piers and their lack of bonding to the side walls.

Externally there are closely spaced ventilation slits to all elevations. High loading doorways (now blocked) flank above the main entries and there are two in the N. gable-end (blocked). The granary has a slat ventilation opening to the E.side and a small blocked window under the stair.
The graded slate roof has oak tie-beam & collar roof-trusses which are pegged with mortice & tenon joints, having 3 pairs of purlins, no ridge-beam and mortice & tenon rafters. The trusses sit on brick-piers and are pegged to each bay partition consisting of central post and down-braced side posts, all morticed to a sole-plate on a high brick cill. Peg holes in the sole-plate suggest there were sheep handling openings in the brick cill at the threshing bay.
The granary has 2 lateral doorways providing access towards cowhouse and hay-barn. A timber stair gives access to a first-floor supported on iron girder beams with pine joists.
A brick lean-too on the E. side may once have housed an oil engine.

Hay-barn
This open sided 8-bay range is built on a stone base to high cill level with brick gable-end and brick piers to each roof-truss and presently roofed in corrugated-iron.
There are 2 drive-through loading-bays which divide the basements into 3 units of 2-bays, each having ventilation slits to external walls. The gable-ends each have a large semi-circular arched opening surrounded by brick ventilation openings of diamond shape to the E. and by 'X' shape at the W. The roof is supported by tie-beam king-post trusses with raking-struts, all morticed and pegged with 2 pairs of side-purlins and a vertical ridge-beam. The tie-beamm is supported by brick piers and 2 up-braced posts resting on a high sole-plate forming the bay partition.

Cow-house
This building is long and unlofted, originally with 8 doorways and 1 window to the S. elevation. The doorways suggest former transverse tethering with transverse feed-passsages, allthough half the doorways are now windows. An original window opening at the E. indicates an area for housing calves. The slate roof is supported by tie-beam king-post trusses with raking-struts which are morticed without pegs, having a bolted tie-beam/post with painted date on W. truss of 1838.
The doorway openings have 3-centered arches and rebated openings. The W. gable-end has ventilation slits and a later doorway possibly for a later lateral feed-passage.

A remarkable group of planned buildings close to the large Llwenni stable block/carriage-house, but set away from the farm buildings of LLwenni House. Buildings shown on OS 25"map of 1874, surveyed 1872, but not on Tithe map of 1842.
