Description
Perrens Hill Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dated 1801. It is constructed from cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof above stone slate base courses, all topped with stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and four bays, with a plinth and eaves course. The windows are mullion style with bedded and architraved surrounds, featuring 4-light bays in the first and third positions. The second bay on the upper floor has a semi-circular arched window with matching mullions and transom, while the fourth bay has a small 20th-century window. The lower bay two contains a boarded door set in an architrave, topped with a moulded flat stone hood, and there is a lean-to structure against the lower bay four.
Attached to the northeast corner is a two-storey building made of coursed rubble with ashlar quoins. It has a Welsh slate roof replacing thatch and features high gable copings. This building has doors at both ground and first floor levels, with the upper door accessed by a stone staircase. A timber lean-to is located in the angle formed with the farmhouse. The south elevation of this building is similar but made of ashlar and has three bays, with a central doorway that features an open pediment hood on console brackets. The lintel above this doorway is inscribed with "J.C. 1801".
On the southwest corner of the property, there is a garden screen wall extending southwards, which is approximately three metres high. This wall has a gateway near the house, with gate piers that feature single tops and side fluting.
