At Maesyrhendre there are two adjacent farmsteads: Maesyrhendre-isaf and Maesyrhendre-uchaf. These farmsteads were farmed separately until (say) the later C19th. There is accordingly duplication of farmhouses, bakehouses, barns, cowhouses, carthouses and other ranges, all broadly datuing from the late C18th - mid C19th. A substantial barn and stable seem to belong to the period when the farms were united. Both farmhouses were briefly noted in the Caernarvonshire Inventory, Vol. I: East, p. 160 (mon. no. 603). The following buildings are listed:
Maes-yr-hendre Farmhouse (3216) = Maesyrhendre-isaf
Maes-yr-hendre Cottage (18235) = Maesyrhendre-uchaf
Brewhouse at Maes-yr-hendre Cottage (18237) = Bakehouse/Brewhouse at Maesyrhendre-uchaf
Carthouse Range at Maes-yr-hendre Cottage (18236) = Carthouse range at Maesyrhendre-uchaf
The mid-C19th farmbuildings a Maesyrhendre-uchaf are not listed. They form two parallel ranges [ ] of the farmhouse: (1) bakehouse/brewhouse with cartshed and granary in range with (2) cowhouse and former two-bay barn.
