Pencrebar House

Pencrebar House is a house dating from 1849, built for William David Horndon. It is constructed of stuccoed walls with a moulded granite plinth and moulded strings above the ground and first floors. The roof is slate-covered, with three gabled projections on the south side, a double gable on the west side, and gable ends on the north side. The axial stacks are rendered. The main range is in a 'U' shape, with shallow projecting wings to the north. A wing to the north-east was extended circa the 1860s, and 'L' shaped outbuildings were erected to the north and west, joining the projecting wings to create a courtyard plan. The style is Gothic.

The south garden front is asymmetrical, though regular. It has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a three-window triple gable front. The left-hand side features a bay window projection that continues from the ground floor to above the first floor. This bay has ovolo-moulded mullion and transom windows. To the right are two six-light ovolo-moulded and transom windows. The first floor has similar, slightly shorter windows. In the gabled projections are two four-light cross windows, with a six-light similar window on the right. The rainwater hood on the left bears the inscription '1849', and the right bears 'WDH'.

The west elevation is asymmetrical, with a four-window front. The left-hand side is set back, with corbelled stack projections between two ground-floor and two first-floor ovolo-moulded cross windows. To the right is an entrance near the centre of the elevation, featuring a pointed arch with double-panelled doors. The spandrels feature ‘W’ and ‘H’ with separate shields and ribbons. Above an ovolo-moulded cross window is a small slit in the gable end. To the right, 'WDH' appears on a rainwater hood. A canted window has a moulded base, with a string above rising over the window to form a hoodmould. An ovolo-moulded cross window sits above in the gable end.

The east elevation has a Tudor arch entrance with a granite surround. The courtyard buildings are single-storey, built of stone rubble with slate roofs. Internally, many of the chimney pieces have been removed. There is an open well staircase with a closed string, and an open screen of square piers leads to the upper landing.

The house was built on the site of the earlier Mansion of Crebar. It was sold in 1926 to Isaac Foot and remained the home of the Foot family until 1960.
