Lower Pendrift Farmhouse

Lower Pendrift Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, though it may have earlier origins. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite quoins and features a rag slate roof, which has a higher section over the right-hand range. The building has a stone rubble end stack with a brick shaft on the left, a stone rubble axial stack to the left of center, and a brick shaft to the right.

The layout likely follows a 3-room and through passage plan, with the lower room on the left heated by an end stack, the hall heated by an axial stack backing onto the passage, and the inner room on the right heated by another end stack. An internal inspection could help determine if the house is older than the early 17th century, particularly since the hall stack appears to have been inserted at a later date. It is also unclear when the roof above the hall and inner room was raised.

In the 18th century, a lean-to outshot was added to the rear of the left-hand room and passage. The exterior features two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window front with an entrance to the left of center. There is an open gabled porch supported by two granite posts with straight cut stops at the top, leading to a plank door. The left side has a six-pane sash window, while the right side has two four-pane sashes. On the first floor, there is a 19th-century four-pane sash to the left and two four-pane sashes to the right.

The interior has not been inspected, but an internal inspection may reveal several interesting features and help to establish a more accurate date for this particularly unaltered and attractive farmhouse.
