Lower Pentire Farmhouse

Lower Pentire Farmhouse is a small farmhouse dating from the 18th century, with its roof heightened in the early 19th century. The building features painted rubble walls with timber lintels and some cob, topped by a 20th-century scantle slate roof with brick end stacks. It has an L-shaped plan, with a kitchen and living room on the left, a pantry and stair outshut behind, and a parlour on the right. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical two-window range. The first floor has 4-pane casements above an early 19th-century 18-pane horizontal-sliding sash window on the left and a 12-pane casement on the right, with a 20th-century planked door.

Inside, original features include a slate floor in the kitchen, plank and muntin partitions, and ledged doors. The boxed-in stair may be a later addition, as is the roof structure, which has pegged collar trusses. The parlour contains a late 19th-century grate set within a surround from around 1800, which may be original or reset.
