Little Pentre-Coed And Adjoining Outbuilding

Little Pentre-coed is a farmhouse with an adjoining outbuilding, originating from the 15th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 17th century and mid-19th century. The structure is timber-framed and has coursed rubble with some brick replacement walling. It features a stone-tiled roof laid in diminishing courses, topped with a brick ridge stack at the northeast end. The farmhouse was originally a cruck hall house, likely consisting of four framed bays aligned northeast to southwest. It is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers. Externally, no framing is visible.

On the southwest front elevation, the windows are primarily 19th-century casements, including a pair of 2-light windows, a square window, and another 2-light window on the ground floor. There is a central gabled dormer featuring a 2-light window and a single-light window. The main entrance, located to the right, has a 19th-century ledged and battened door. Additionally, there is a 19th-century external brick chimney at the junction of the first and second bays and a lean-to outshut with a catslide roof at the rear.

The interior was not inspected during the survey in July 1986, but it is noted to retain three cruck trusses. The adjoining outbuilding, likely from the 17th century, is timber-framed on a rubble base, weatherboarded, and has a stone-tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. It consists of three framed bays and has two levels. The southwest elevation features two loft openings, three doors, and a stable door with a transom light, along with a lean-to outshut with a catslide roof at the rear. Inside, the wall-framing includes one row of rectangular panels and a row of square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with collar and tie-beam trusses that have struts throughout, except for one intermediate tie-beam truss with raking struts and two tiers of trenched purlins.
