Description
Pen-y-Bont Farmhouse is a two-storey, three-window house built over a raised basement, which is connected to the former inn to the southwest. The building is constructed of rubble and slate, featuring large stone end chimneys, one of which is shared with the inn. It has moulded cornices and weathercoursing. The entrance is located to the left and consists of a boarded door set within a plain rendered architrave, topped by a simple four-pane overlight. The house has recessed 16-pane unhorned sash windows on both floors, with the upper floor windows being slightly squatter, all featuring slatestone lintels and projecting cills. There is a two-light basement window. The symmetrical rear has two windows, with six-pane sashes flanking a central boarded door, and 20th-century casement windows above; the right window is six-pane while the left is plain. To the right at the front, there is an early 20th-century brick WC, and a similar lean-to store is attached at the rear. The interior was not inspected during the survey in November 1996.
