Description

Penbryn Croft is a pair of three-storey houses, each with three windows and a one-window extension at the west end. They are constructed from coursed rubble masonry and feature moderately pitched slate roofs with cavetto eaves cornices and close verges. The buildings have stone stacks and water tabling.

The houses have later 19th-century gablets over the outer windows on the top storey, along with bargeboards. The windows are twelve-pane sashes, with a dummy window set under the eaves at the centre of Penbryn Croft. The first floor also has twelve-pane sashes with stone lintels and sills, and a dummy window in the centre. The ground floor has similar fenestration, with a central doorway. Modern doors are present, along with a lattice rectangular fanlight above the doorway to Penbryn House. Slate tablets above the doorways bear inscriptions: "Built by T G E 1808" for Penbryn Croft and "Built by R O J 1808" for Penbryn House.

To the right, there is a three-storey, one-window near-contemporary extension with a pitched slate roof, close verges, and a stone stack. This extension features a shallow dummy window set under the eaves and twelve-pane sash windows on the first and ground floors. There is a single-storey outshut at the left end, also with a pitched slate roof.

The front gardens are revetted with rubble walls and include a stone staircase leading from street level to the centre. The rear elevations have tall staircase windows, multi-transomed two-light windows with lead cames retaining stone sills at Penbryn Croft. Raking dormers on the second floor have shallow six-pane sashes, while the first floor has twelve-pane sashes. The ground floors have been altered with inserted doorways to the left and right of Penbryn Croft, with the original rear entry now a window. Penbryn House has a similar arrangement, with an original doorway partially blocked from a window on the right and a later doorway cut alongside a window on the left. The extension at the west end remains unaltered, featuring twelve-pane sashes on the first and ground floors.

At the time of inspection, Penbryn House was undergoing renovation, and the interiors feature contemporary staircases and panelled doors.
