Description
Penwood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1723, as indicated by a stone plaque with raised lettering on the front. The building features some late 19th-century alterations and is constructed from coursed and squared rubble with a double Roman tile roof and a single brick stack on the left side. The symmetrical frontage has two storeys and is arranged in a 2:2 bay configuration. It includes 2-light edge-moulded stone-mullioned windows, except for a 2-light and a 3-light casement window on the left side of the ground floor. The 2-light casement is set in a dressed stone surround that was once part of a mullioned window. Each pair of bays on the ground floor has a single stopped label that extends over both windows. The central door opening features roughly dressed stone jambs, a 6-panelled door with the top two panels glazed, and a shallow gabled hood supported by wooden brackets and corbels.
