Penhill Farmhouse

Penhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with additions and alterations made around the mid 19th century and a few later changes. The building is constructed of painted stone rubble and features a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. There are gable end stacks, one on the right with a large rubble shaft and slate weathering, and another on the left with a brick shaft. The layout consists of a two-room and through passage plan, with each room heated by a gable end stack. A rear wing was added in the 19th century, designed as a one-room plan, also heated from a gable end stack.

The exterior is two storeys high with three windows, all from the 19th century, creating a nearly symmetrical front. The first floor has three 4-pane sash windows with timber lintels. The ground floor features a central half-glazed door, a 4-pane sash window to the left, and a paired 4-pane sash window to the right. There is a central gabled dormer with a 4-pane sash. The right gable end is blind and has a buttress, while the 19th-century wing includes a 5-light window on the ground floor, a 20th-century door, a 3-light window, and a 4-pane sash on the first floor, all with triangular brick heads. A 20th-century glazed porch is set at the angle of the main house. The rear gable end of the wing has a 4-pane sash window on the first floor to the right. The left end of the main range is blind and rendered. The rear of the main range has plate-glass sashes on the ground and first floors to the right, and there is a projection in the wall that may indicate the site of an early rear lateral stack. A single-storey 19th-century rubble lean-to conceals the position of a rear passage doorway and has a 2-light window, with a 4-pane sash above at the first floor and a gabled dormer with a 4-pane sash. The inner side of the rear wing features a 4-light window and a blocked door, both with triangular brick heads.

Inside, the central passage and the room to the left have been combined into one room, featuring 19th-century beams and a gable end fireplace with 20th-century chimneypieces. The rest of the interior is not accessible.
