Description

Pennhalow is an early to mid-19th century farmhouse, originally named Little Bodwannick and formerly part of Lanivet Bodwannick Farm. The building is constructed of slate stone and granite rubble, with brick dressings to the rear, and a slate roof featuring ridge and gable tiles. Brick chimney shafts rise from gable ends.

The farmhouse has a double-depth plan, arranged with principal rooms to the front left and right, and a central entrance. To the rear, a kitchen is located to the right and an unheated dairy to the left, with the stairwell situated between the dairy and a rear corridor.

The symmetrical three-window front is two storeys high. First-floor windows are 19th-century sixteen-pane sashes, while the ground floor has two twenty-pane sashes and a central panelled and glazed door. A single-storey, 20th-century lean-to is situated on the right side, and the left side of the building is blind. The rear elevation features an external stack belonging to a servile room. There is an eight-pane casement window with a brick segmental arch at ground and first floor to the right of the rear; a small single-light window and a twenty-four-pane sash lighting the stair are also located on the first floor to the right. A central door and lean-to to the right enclose a well.

Inside, a dog-leg stair features stick balusters. The dairy has slate shelves and wooden shelves suspended from the ceiling. The farmhouse represents a good example of a 19th-century farmhouse retaining its original plan.
