History

There is a date of 1852 on a porch in the lower farmyard which gives a likely date for much of the complex although there was presumably a pre-existing estate farm and the style of the arched entrance to the lower farmyard is diagnostic of the work of the 2nd Lord Newborough suggesting that part of the farm is likely to date from before 1832. The use of horizontally sliding sash windows suggests that this building is one of the earlier ranges within the farm.

Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury.

Exterior

Single-storey gable-ended rubble building with slate roof and rendered chimney stack on south-west end. The eaves are wide in the manner characteristic of the mid C19 estate buildings as are the horizontally sliding sash windows surviving on the north-west side. Offset on the south-west gable end is a gabled porch with side entrance and narrow window to front. North-east gable end is altered.

Interior

Not accessible at time of inspection.
