Description
Pedams Oak Farmhouse is a house and byres dating from the early 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed from varied stone rubble, featuring quoins and ashlar dressings, with a stone-flagged roof and stone and yellow brick chimneys. The farmhouse has Welsh slate roofs on its pent additions. The building is two storeys high and consists of six bays in one structure, with a three-bay house flanked by two- and one-bay byres.
The house features wide square steps leading to a 19th-century gabled glazed porch, which has bargeboards and a bracketed cornice, all set on a stone plinth. The inner door is ledged and boarded, surrounded by a frame of long and short blocks. The nearly-square windows in the flanking bays have tooled stone surrounds, except for the ground floor right window, which has a flat stone lintel and sill.
The left byre includes a flat stone lintel over a boarded door on the left, with a long-and-short block surround to a similar door in the second bay. There is also a wood-lined small chamfered square opening on the right and slit vents under the eaves. The right byre features a long-and-short block surround to a door at the right of side stone steps leading to a loft door, along with a small square recess in the return of the steps adjacent to the door.
The house has two square ridge chimneys flanking its part, with the left chimney raised in brick. There is a 19th-century one-storey one-bay pent addition on the left and a two-bay rear outshut. The house was empty at the time of the survey.
