Pengover Manor Farmhouse

Pengoer Manor Farmhouse, likely dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, is a farmhouse that has been divided into two separate dwellings. An entrance porch and a projecting front wing were added later, and a mid-20th century extension exists on the east side. A datestone inscribed "H May 1645" is visible on the porch. The farmhouse is constructed of rendered rubble stone with ragstone details, and has a regular slate roof with a gabled end on the left and four gabled projections to the front. Original crested ridge tiles remain. Rubblestone stacks are present on the left-hand gable end, a lateral stack between the projecting gabled wing and the two-storey porch, and on the right-hand side with a brick shaft.

The original plan consisted of three rooms with a through passage which was later blocked at the rear. A two-storey porch projects to the front, with a gabled bay projecting from the hall, and a lateral hall stack along the front wall. The inner room was originally heated by a stack at the higher gable end. A truncated cross wing is located at the lower end, featuring a front gabled stack. A stair and dairy wing was added to the rear of the hall.

The front elevation has a regular three-window arrangement. On the ground floor, a 20th-century French window with glazing bars and flanking lights is set into the left-hand inner room, beneath a timber lintel. A three-light casement with glazing bars and a timber lintel is located in the projecting gabled bay of the hall. To the right of the front lateral stack is a small, 20th-century slit window. The front porch features a segmental chamfered stone arch with chamfered and stopped jambs, leading to a 19th-century double timber and glazed door. The first floor contains three three-light 19th-century casements with glazing bars, all set within gable ends, along with a datestone above the first-floor window of the porch. A small, splayed slit window is positioned to the left of the porch, visible only from the interior. The rear of the building features a ground-floor dairy with a 17th-century two-light timber mullioned window with ovolo mouldings; a similar three-light 17th-century timber mullioned window is located to the left of the stair projection on the first floor.

Inside, a granite threshold leads to the inner door. The wide through passage has been blocked off at the rear, revealing a central hall with chamfered ceiling beams, which terminate at the junction with the projecting wing. A fireplace with a chamfered granite lintel and jambs is present, and a timber screen may have originally separated the through passage from the hall. The inner room on the left also features chamfered ceiling beams and a fireplace on the left-hand gable end, with a large deep slate lintel and chamfered rubblestone jambs. A framed timber stair is located in the staircase projection. The roof structure includes slightly chamfered cambered collars, with chamfered principals below the collars, each displaying run-out stops. A slight curve is noticeable to the feet of several principals. The right-hand lower side of the roof was not inspected.
