Description

Penamen Ucha Farm is a model farmyard that includes a house and dates back to 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.

At the center of the northern range is the house, which is two stories tall with three windows and constructed of snecked masonry. It has an advanced gablet at the center, which features an inset rampant lion. A sill band rises under the windows, and there are stressed quoins. The windows are modern four-pane designs. A stone staircase leads up from the road. The agricultural buildings on either side of 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. A taller implement shed is positioned at a right angle to the eastern end, also open-fronted with 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 and an open upper timberwork structure topped with a curved corrugated iron roof, which was formerly gabled.

The southern range includes a two-story chaff house and engine room, featuring a fleche-like ventilator and a gablet above the loading door, which is flanked by loft windows. It has a sill band and a cambered central doorway with windows on either side. Storage barns step down on either side, with lean-tos at the front, ventilator grilles under the eaves, and dormer doorways at the rear. The single-story ranges on the left and right include stables on the right and a cowhouse on the left, with 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 feature stone piers along with original doors, windows, and fittings.
