Description
Pen-y-Cefn is a 2-storey building with a slate roof and a combination of rubble that is colour washed at the front and roughcast on the sides. It features stone chimneys at the rear and one side, with brick chimneys on the other side and at the rear extension. The building has four dormers, each fitted with 12-pane horizontally sliding sashes. The ground floor includes an offset door, 12-pane horizontally sliding sashes at each end, and a larger 3-unit 18-pane sliding sash to the left of the door. The left-hand return is roughcast and has an earlier 20th-century door with a gabled canopy, along with a 19th-century brick chimney at the gable end. There is a lower 2-storey extension that has a blocked window. The rear elevation is partially hidden by a 20th-century circular water butt, but a tall external lateral stack is visible along with the gable end of the added wing to the right.
Although not accessible during the 1995 survey, it is reported to contain a cambered bressummer over the hall fireplace, timber-framed walls, plank doors with strap hinges, and stairs leading up from the entrance lobby.
