Description
Penpenmaen Cottage is a single-storey building featuring a rendered front and a slate roof. It has rubble chimney stacks with weathercoursing located to the right and centre, along with a later brick stack on the left gable end, suggesting it may have been converted from a former agricultural range. The cottage has margins around recessed casement windows, a half-glazed modern door, and a porch. At the rear, there are metal frame windows. The property is complemented by a stepped rubble forecourt wall.
