Pen-y-Bont Farmhouse

Pen-y-Bont Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 18th century, although it has undergone some later remodelling and may include parts of an earlier structure. The building is constructed from roughly coursed rubble and features a slate roof with end wall stacks. It has two storeys and a two-window range. There is a baffle entry located against the stack on the right side. The windows on each floor have been renewed in earlier openings and have plastered flat arched heads. At the rear, there is a wing, along with a lower range that may be an earlier construction.

The principal barn is attached to the west of the farmhouse and probably dates from the late 18th century. It is built from very roughly coursed boulder stone on the ground floor, with slate rubble infilled between rough timber work above. The barn has opposed entrances for the threshing floor towards the west end, located at the angle with the stable or cowhouse range that forms the southern wing. There are small windows on each floor and a doorway below an external staircase supported on a slate slab close to the farmhouse. Inside, there is a slate threshing floor and low boarded partitions that separate it from the storage bays on either side. The roof features rough queen strut roof trusses.

The cowhouse and stable range adjoins the barn and incorporates its western end. It is built from boulder stone packed with slate and has heavy angle quoins, with a slate roof. There are steps leading to a loft entry at the southern gable, and two doorways with flanking windows, all featuring rough timber lintels. A narrow lean-to is located to the right. Vents are present below the eaves on the east and west elevations. The range continues beyond the barn to the north, where it adapts to the slope of the site by having a lower storey that is entered from the northern gable.
