Pendine Farmhouse

Pendine Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with a hall bay added in the mid-17th century. It was altered around 1880 and has some 20th-century modifications. The building is constructed of granite and slatestone rubble with granite dressings, partly rendered, and has a slate roof with gable ends. A rear lateral stack is located to the left, while a gable end brick stack sits to the right.

Originally, the farmhouse likely comprised three rooms and a through passage. The lower room was on the left, followed by the passage, hall, and inner room to the right. The hall was heated by a rear lateral stack, and the inner room by a gable end stack. In the mid-17th century, the hall was extended with a projecting bay that incorporated the rear lateral stack. Around the late 19th century, the lower end room was demolished, and its gable wall was rebuilt with quoins to the front but not the rear. A passage door was blocked and replaced with a window, and a new doorway was created, providing access to a small hallway between the hall and the inner room, with a straight staircase installed between them. The location of the original staircase is uncertain. A doorway was also formed from the rear of the hall bay to access a single-storey outshut, used as a scullery and dairy. It is unusual for the hall bay to be at the rear of the house, suggesting a possible reorientation; the original approach may have been from what is now the rear.

The two-storey front of the house features a pointed-arched doorway on the left, now blocked, with a small 19th-century 16-pane sash window inserted. To the right are two 2-light 3-pane casements from the 19th century, one with a timber lintel and the other with a granite lintel, alongside a 19th-century 4-panelled door with an overlight. A similar 2-light casement is to the end right. The first floor has three similar casements under the eaves. The left side has been rebuilt with quoins to the front but not the rear, and is rendered. The right side features a 19th-century buttress and quoins to the front. The rear has a single-storey outshut behind the inner room, with a 20th-century 6-pane light to the rear and a 20th-century door on the inner side. To the right, the hall bay has a ground-floor 3-light window with a chamfered granite surround, incorporating 2-centred arched heads to the lights. The external stack has a brick chimney and a curved oven, likely a later addition, to the right side. A former rear passage doorway is blocked and features a 4-pane sash window with a plain granite lintel.

The interior was extensively remodelled in the late 19th century. In the inner room, 19th-century ceiling beams alternate with original beams featuring stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The fireplace to the rear lateral stack in the hall has been rebuilt. The walls between the hall, the entrance hallway, and the inner room are stud partitions.
