Description
Penwinnick Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, possibly a remodelling of an older house. It features walls made of Killas rubble with granite dressings and has scantle slate hipped roofs. The brick chimneys are located over the side walls. The building has an irregular L-shaped plan, consisting of two rooms at the front that flank an entrance hall leading to a stair hall. There is a service room in an outshut behind the right-hand room, a probable one-room-plan wing at right angles behind the far left-hand front room, and a small one-room-plan wing set back on the far left.
The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical with a three-window east front. The doorway and a window above it are slightly left of the middle, alongside a blind wall of a small wing set back on the left. The probably original six-panel door features a single-pane fanlight within an original round-headed doorcase. The windows are original hornless sashes, with flat arches and projecting keystones above the ground floor openings. There is a 12-pane sash over the doorway, and the other openings have 12-pane sashes with sidelights, similar to the windows on the left-hand wall of the kitchen wing. The interior has not been inspected.
