Llangibby Castle (Nprn45082).
RCAHMW AP945057/48
2. Combination service building constructed in c1700 to a formal design and forming a part of the formal approach to the contemporary Llangybi Castle House (demolished 1951). This building was the stables and kennels of the Llangybi Hunt with most of the upper floor devoted to pigeon houses. The range is rendered throughout, probably over local sandstone rubble, and has a concrete interlocking tile roof and a red brick chimney. Large rectangular two storey block with a balanced front, although rather altered at the east end with late C20 windows and an extension. Central elliptically headed entrance arch with five bays to either side, unaltered to the left and altered to the right. To the left are four cross framed casements and a central doorway with panelled door. The ground floor is smooth rendered up to a band at lintel level. Above this are five bullseyes with doveholes. Above the archway is a 4 + 4 pane casement in an arched recess. To the right the first two windows, the door and the three bullseyes are all as before but the last two bays have been altered with modern small paned doors and windows. Roof hipped over all with a single off-centre stack. Two bay extension with lower roof line and modern features to the right hand gable. The gables and the rear elevation are blind except for bullseyes.
