Description
Pen-y-Ghent Cottage is a former farmhouse that has been converted into one cottage from two. It dates back to the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building features a rubble plinth, slobbered rubble brought to course, stone dressings, and a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has four bays.
The entrance is located to the right of the centre and has a slate lintel with a door from around 1970. There are three ground floor windows: a former four-light chamfered mullioned window, now with only the central mullion remaining and a slate dripstone; a left-of-centre former two-light chamfered window with the mullion missing; and a right-hand mid-18th century two-light recessed flat-faced mullioned window with a 20th-century sill.
On the upper floor, there are four windows: a former three-light window, now a two-light cavetto mullioned window with one remaining mullion repositioned in the centre; a single-light 20th-century window that reuses mid-18th century jambs; a former two-light chamfered window with the mullion missing; and a two-light mid-18th century flat-faced mullioned window, along with 1980s casements.
The right-hand gable end has a stack, as does the left-hand former gable end stack, which is now at the junction with a projecting former barn. The rear of the building contains a blocked two-light chamfered mullioned window. This cottage is included for its group value.
