Penamen Ucha Farm, Model Farmyard

Penamen Ucha Farm is a model farmyard that includes a house and dates from the 19th century. The buildings feature rubble masonry with rock-faced freestone dressings and have moderately pitched slate roofs with oversailing eaves, deep verges, and bargeboards.

The house is located in the center of the northern range and is two stories high with three windows, built of snecked masonry. It has an advanced gablet at the center that features an inset rampant lion. A sill band rises under the windows, and the house has stressed quoins and modern four-pane windows. A stone staircase leads up from the road. The agricultural buildings flanking the house have plain three-window rubble elevations with stone lintels and Victorian sash windows. There is a low forecourt wall.

To the right and left are single-story agricultural ranges. The right range includes a dairy and an open-fronted shelter shed supported by stone piers. At the eastern end, there is a taller implement shed that is open-fronted and also supported by stone piers. The left range consists of a former carpentry shop, calf pens, and shelter sheds, featuring plank doors and slatted vent windows. There is a two-story cartshed with a granary above it at the western end, which has a dormer doorway to the right, three arched cart entries, and a loft door under a hood on the gable end.

In the center of the yard, there are two long rectangular manure stores with stone bases, an open upper timberwork structure, and a curved corrugated iron roof that was formerly gabled.

The southern range contains a two-story chaff house and engine room, which features a fleche-like ventilator and a gablet over the loading door, flanked by loft windows and a sill band. The central doorway is cambered and flanked by windows. Storage barns step down on either side, with lean-tos at the front, ventilator grilles under the eaves, and dormer doorways at the rear. There are single-story ranges to the left and right, with stables on the right and a cowhouse on the left. These buildings have ridge ventilators, plank doors, and slatted vent windows. Taller Dutch barns are attached at right angles to the eastern and western ends, open to the yard, and supported by stone piers. The original doors, windows, and fittings remain intact.
