Description
Pen-y-Cae Farmhouse is a two-storey farmhouse that has an adjoining agricultural range to the left (southeast). It is built of whitened limestone rubble and features slate roofs, with the barn section having a steep pitch. The house section has plain end chimneys, one of which is rendered and raised. The near-central entrance has a segmentally-arched head and a boarded door, with the upper section featuring 6-pane glazing. Original flanking windows have cambered heads and 12-pane sliding sashes. The entrance and the right-hand window are set within a large, single-storey modern glazed porch. The first floor has 20th-century 6-pane steel-framed windows located under the eaves.
To the right, there is a single-bay service section that steps down, featuring a ground floor window with a cambered head and 6-pane plain glazing, and a 20th-century 3-pane window on the first floor under the eaves.
The barn section steps down and is flush to the left, with a boarded entrance in a wooden frame to the right and a 2-light, plain-glazed window in the loft above. To the left, there is a larger barn entrance with a cambered head and a framed stable door. Adjacent to this is an external stone stair that ascends from right to left, equipped with a plain 20th-century iron rail. The upper entrance is contained within a shallow gabled dormer. To the left of this are two cambered stable entrances with boarded and framed stable doors, as well as two 2-light unglazed windows in the loft above, set under the eaves. Modern windows are present at the rear of the building.
The interior was not inspected during the survey.
