Description

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

At the center of the northern range is a two-storey house with three windows, built from snecked masonry. It has an advanced gablet at the center, which features an inset rampant lion. A sill band rises beneath the windows, and the corners are accentuated with stressed quoins. The house has modern four-pane windows and a stone staircase leading up from the road. Flanking the house are agricultural buildings that 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-storey 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-storey 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 are two long rectangular manure stores with stone bases and an open upper timber structure topped with a curved corrugated iron roof, which was formerly gabled.

The southern range features a two-storey chaff house and engine room, which includes 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. Single-storey ranges are located 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 adjoin at right angles to the eastern and western ends, open to the yard, and retain their original doors, windows, and fittings.
