Pentrehyling Farmhouse

Pentrehyling Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse. The eaves were raised and the building remodelled in the late 18th or early 19th century, with later additions and alterations. The house is timber framed, now mainly roughcast, with a graded slate roof; painted brick additions are also present. It has a two-story, baffle-entry plan of three framed bays. The right gable end exposes the timber framing with square panels extending from the cill to the tie beam, incorporating long straight tension braces and decorative lozenge patterns above the tie beam. The windows are of varying dates, including late 19th century casements under the eaves and late 20th century casements to the front. A boarded door is situated to the right of an open gabled porch. A red brick axial ridge stack is centrally located, and a red brick stack is at the rear on the right side. Parallel gabled 19th century additions extend at right angles from the rear, each with its own end stack. The interior retains the timber frame, exposed in the back wall and with chamfered ceiling beams and heavy joists on the ground floor. A large chimney breast contains an infilled inglenook fireplace with a richly moulded wooden lintel in the right-hand ground-floor room. Several 17th century plank doors and original floorboards remain in the upstairs rooms. Original roof trusses survive; the collar and tie beam are visible in the right gable end.
