Description

Pentlow End is a house dating from the late 14th century and late 16th century. It features a crosswing constructed of English bond red brickwork, which is now plastered over, alongside an earlier timber-framed structure that was originally a two-bay open hall with black weatherboarding. All roofs are gabled and covered with peg tiles. The crosswing is two storeys high, while the main range has one storey and attics, with a single-storey gabled extension at the north end.

The crosswing includes three-light plastered brick mullioned windows with 20th-century casements, and the attic has a similar two-light casement. The south side of the crosswing has a contemporary brick stack with exposed brickwork and a rebuilt pair of brick shafts above. The main range features a central tall, thin ridgeline stack, one large gabled dormer, a smaller dormer, and a 20th-century roof light. The windows in this section are 20th-century metal casements.

Inside the late 16th-century crosswing, there are original brick arch-headed fireplaces on each floor and a raised collar and wind-braced side purlin roof. The upper former solar contains a timber-framed closet partition with turned balusters that create a ventilator opening above. The late 14th-century block retains the remains of a two-bay hall with jowled posts, arch braces to tie beams, and a very tall crown post with chamfered corners and short thick longitudinal braces. The high-end partition is intact, featuring bench peg holes, arched wall bracing, and remnants of a parlour door head. Fragments of an eight-light diamond mullioned hall window remain, showcasing a stop-chamfered square central mullion. The entrance door head, which has a slightly arched top, is still in place. A staircase includes one fretwork 17th-century baluster.
