Penston Farm, Penston

Penston Farm is a late 18th century, two-storey, three-bay farmhouse that features late 19th century additions at the rear with a piend roof. There is also a slightly lower, circa 1800, two-storey addition to the east, along with a single-storey service wing. The building is constructed from squared and coursed rubble, which was probably originally harled, with sandstone dressings, raised margins, and an eaves course.

The central door is adorned with a strip fanlight, with windows on either side at the ground floor and three windows close under the eaves at the first floor. The addition on the right has a window on each floor, and there is one large window in the single-storey addition. The west gable features a window on each floor. The rear piend roofed addition is also two-storey and three-bay, with a round-headed stair window on the outer right, two tall windows at both the ground and first floors, and a further addition to the right.

The farmhouse predominantly has sash and case windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring ashlar-coped skews with beak skewputts, and corniced ashlar stacks at the ends and wallhead. A low rubble coped retaining wall encloses the garden.
