Pennyford Hall Farmhouse

Pennyford Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse and dairy dating to approximately 1740, with significant alterations and a refronting in the late 18th century, and a 19th-century addition to the left side, along with later alterations. The front facade is constructed of coursed Kineton stone, while the returns and rear are of reddish-brown brick, and the roof is covered with plain tiles.

The building is three storeys with a cellar, featuring three first-floor windows and a single-storey dairy to the left. The plan is based around a central hallway. It has quoins. The central entrance features a four-panel door with an overlight within a tooled, eared architrave with ogee and fillet moulding, and a central keystone interrupted by a hood. Throughout the exterior are metal casement windows, with those on the ground and first floors having six panes and eared architraves with keystones. Attic floor windows are multi-paned, some with lead cames, also within eared architraves. Sills are present throughout, and there are bands marking the first and second floors.

The gabled roof is hipped to the right, with a raised brick gable and kneeler to the left. A left-end stack has a band and cornice, a right external stack, and a rear stack. The rear elevation has five casement windows, all under cambered arches. Brick bands continue around the returns.

The interior features stone flag floors on the ground floor and gypsum plaster floors in the attic rooms and on the landing. The majority of rooms contain chamfered beams, some with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. There are mainly plank and two-panel and six-panel doors, some fielded. The fireplaces are mainly from the 19th century, and a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters is present. A corner cupboard in the first-floor left room has shaped shelves and a round-arched head, along with four-panel doors. The dairy retains meat-salting slabs.

The Wootton Wawen Report suggests that the mid-18th century house was originally of brick, and that three walls of the original brick structure survive. The roof was likely raised during the refronting.
