Description
Pelyne Farmhouse is possibly of 16th-century origin, with an 18th-century wing added to the rear and a mid-19th-century outshut built into the angle formed by the two wings. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone, with some rendered areas at the rear. It has a scantle slate roof with gable ends, along with a regular slate roof on the outshut. A large projecting stone stack with a cloam oven projection is on the right-hand gable end, while a projecting rendered stone stack sits on the rear gable end, and a large stone stack is on the left-hand gable end.
The original 16th-century part of the house comprises two rooms with a crosspassage, which was later blocked by a staircase and a rear projecting wing of one room, creating an 'L' shaped plan. A further room was added at the junction of the two wings. The east front has two storeys and three windows. The ground floor features two 3-light late 19th-century casement windows, each with six panes, and chamfered concrete lintels. A central timber door is present. The first floor has three 2-light casements, each with six panes, and timber lintels. A room on the north side has a fireplace with a chamfered cambered timber lintel. The cloam oven includes a door and an iron bar for cooking. Chamfered and stopped beams are found in the room on the south side. Small timber framing with limewashed rubble and cob infill flanks the framed staircase and the west wall between the 16th-century range and the 18th-century wing. The roof has pegged chamfered collars and principals, with five bays in the main range and five in the wing. Lower sections of four raised cruck trusses are present in the main range; the feet of the third truss are visible and are chamfered and curved.
An outbuilding adjoins the left-hand gable end, constructed of rubble stone with cob upper walls and a corrugated roof with gable ends. It is a single storey building with a blocked opening near the centre, featuring a timber lintel, and a 2-light mullion window. A right-hand entrance is marked by a timber lintel.
