Description
Penfold Cottage and the adjoining barn is a farmhouse and barn dating from the mid-18th century. The building features mixed rubble walls, with the house being cement rendered and the barn whitewashed. Both structures are topped with a graduated greenslate roof and have cement rendered chimney stacks.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two bays, with the barn occupying the right side under a common roof. The house has a central 20th-century door set in a gabled stone porch. It also features sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds, except for a three-light flat stone-mullioned window on the ground floor to the left. The barn includes an off-centre segmental-arched cart entrance, a slit vent on the left, and a plank door on the right, all within a stone surround.
