Description
Penlan Fawr is a Grade II listed building constructed from very rough rubble and topped with slate roofs. It is one and a half storeys high and features a three-unit plan with a baffle entrance and an axial stack situated between two heated rooms. There is also a small unheated service room or parlour in the main range, along with a long rear wing that was extended in the 19th century.
The main elevation faces east, with the entrance located to the right of the centre in a later gabled porch. This entrance is flanked by small-paned fixed light windows, consisting of 9 and 12 panes, which have flat stone lintels. Similar windows can be found in the left-hand unheated room and on the first floor, where they break the eaves line and feature gabled heads. The rear wing has a gable end stack and a central entrance, with iron mullioned and transomed windows with small panes on each floor, also featuring flat stone lintels for the lower openings. A later addition to the left of the stack includes an inner doorway and a casement window on each floor, again with flat stone lintels for the lower openings.
Inside, the three-unit plan includes an axial stack between the two heated rooms and a small unheated service room or parlour located beyond the staircase to the southeast. The principal room boasts a heavy bressumer above the fireplace, with a bar stop to the chamfer, and heavy beams with similar chamfer stops that panel the ceiling. The long rear wing contains a large dairy with slate slabs.
