Description
Old House at Pentre Farm is a 2-storey house built of rubble stone. The roof is partly slate and mainly covered with corrugated galvanised sheets, featuring external gable stacks, with the upper parts rebuilt in late 19th-century brick, although the right side has been reduced. The front has two windows, is roughcast, and retains horizontal-sliding sashes. The central porch has some original castellations and features a boarded door.
Attached to the left angle of the front is a 2-storey wash house, also with roughcast walls and a slate roof behind coped gables, along with an end brick stack. The wash house has a boarded door in its side wall facing the main house, and the gable end facing the yard has horizontal-sliding sashes on both storeys. There are corrugated iron sheds built against the left gable end. At the rear, there is an outshut kitchen on the right side.
Inside the lower storey, there are two units, each with a single spine beam; the parlour on the left has its beam boxed in. A cross passage leads to the rear kitchen, with walls made of rubble stone, although part of the right side has been taken down near the former hall doorway. The wash house retains its original basin and boiler.
