Penddol

Penddol is a building likely constructed in the late 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century, including new windows and modern render. It features a single storey and attic with a four-bay front that is pebbledashed, complemented by a cement plinth, rusticated quoins, and architraves. The roof is steep and undulating, covered with slate, and there are cement render chimney stacks—one located at the left gable end and another opposite the right-hand entry. The eaves are boarded.

To the left, there are three gabled dormers that are slate hung and fitted with casement windows, with their sills positioned below the eaves level. Below the central two dormers are three-light casement windows, which are flanked by later gabled porches that have boarded doors, with an inset glazed panel to the left. There are two-light casements at either end, and at the extreme right end, there is an additional first-floor window that has 17th-century proportions, along with a boarded door leading into what may have been a kitchen. The right gable is cement, while the left features a brick chimney breast and an outbuilding beyond. The rear has one window and a small extension.

The main entrance is located opposite the chimney, leading into a lobby area that has a 19th-century panelled dado. The parlour to the left, which contains the main fireplace, showcases deep and crudely stopped chamfers on the main beams. To the right was likely the kitchen, which retains a bread oven in the fireplace and former winding stairs. To the left of the parlour, there is a step down to a 19th-century staircase hall, followed by a step up to the end room. These areas feature tidier stop chamfers on the beams and joists, indicating a later construction date. It is possible that Penddol was originally a long house, with animals moved out of the left end in the 18th century, allowing for conversion into domestic use. The structure includes tie and collar trusses with queen struts and trenched purlins, half-timbered partitions in the attic, and a massive stepped chimney breast, along with a well leading to the cellar.
