Penrhos Court

Penrhos Court is a farmhouse with an early core that possibly dates from the late 13th century or early 14th century. A cross-wing was added in the 16th century, with further additions made in the mid-17th century. The building underwent alterations in the mid-19th century and further restoration in the 20th century. It features a timber-framed structure, with square paneling in the earlier sections and decorative ornamental framing in the 17th-century addition. The base includes a sandstone rubble plinth, with some areas refaced in brick, and roofs made of stone slate and corrugated metal.

The farmhouse has a three-bay cruck hall aligned north-west to south-east, which includes a large inserted axial stack. A cross-wing is attached to the south-east end, along with a further 17th-century wing and a projecting porch. There are additional lateral and axial stacks. On the north-east entrance front, there is a single-storey hall to the right featuring a 5-light mullioned window and a 2-light 19th-century casement window. To the left of the hall is the gable end of the two-storey 16th-century cross-wing, which has a restored oriel window and a tripartite sash window on the ground floor in stone refacing. The two-storey and attic 17th-century cross-wing further to the left has a small 4-light mullioned window in the attic, a 5-light mullioned window on the first floor, and a 4-light window on the ground floor. The gabled two-storey porch to the right features an oriel window above an open lower storey, with a temporary inner ledged door.

Inside the hall range, there are four largely complete cruck trusses showing traces of smoke blackening, with some wind-braces remaining. A small section of plank and muntin panelling survives in the 16th-century wing. The 17th-century wing has been largely reconstructed after suffering storm damage. At the rear of the 16th-century cross-wing, there is a partly mutilated shaped doorhead.
