Penton Cottage

Penton Cottage is a small house built in the mid-18th century. It features walls of roughcast and painted brick, topped with a steep slate roof. The symmetrical front, facing west, has two storeys and two windows. The roof is plain with a catslide at the rear, and the north gable displays exposed framing. The walls are unadorned, with old ground-floor sash windows and late 19th-century casements on the first floor. The plain doorway includes an early 20th-century oak door and is sheltered by a high shallow canopy supported by wrought-iron brackets. On the north gable, there is an attached stack with a stone plaque that reads "Jn (Jonathon) Bolen, Bentworth 1756." At the south end of the cottage, there is a single-storeyed service extension with block walls and a corrugated asbestos roof.
