Description

Pen-lan Cottage is a single-storey building constructed of rubble and timber, topped with a steep fish-scale slate roof. The front of the cottage is symmetrical, featuring two large projecting end gables and three smaller gables above a central lean-to glass-fronted verandah. Most of the finials on the gables are missing. The gable windows are adorned with Tudor label mouldings and consist of three lights. The central area has five-pane windows. On the rear slope of the roof, there are two diagonally set rendered chimney stacks.
