Description
Pen-y-Dyffryn Hall is a building that was originally a rectory and is now a guest house. It was likely constructed around 1838, with extensions added in 1849 and 1856, along with some later modifications. The structure is made of uncoursed limestone rubble and features a slate hipped roof with wide eaves and a yellow brick ridge stack on the right side.
The main block consists of three bays across and two bays deep, with two similar blocks extending to the rear, which have datestones reading "RW 1849" and "RIN 1856." The building is two stories tall and has a three-window front. The windows are glazing bar sashes, with 30 panes on the ground floor and 16 panes on the first floor, all featuring wedge lintels and stone cills. The central entrance has an early 20th-century half-glazed door with a plain fanlight set in a brick-arched recess. The nearby Rhyd-y-Croesau parish church, built in 1838, suggests that the rectory was constructed around the same time.
