Description
Pendre is a 17th-century building that may include some earlier elements. It has a lobby entry plan with a central chimney stack that features back-to-back fireplaces. The structure is one-and-a-half storeys tall, built of rubble stone that has been overpainted. It has a tiled roof with a rubble ridge stack and a projecting rubble end stack on the east side. A large rubble gable porch with an arched entry and wall benches enhances the entrance. The door frame is ovolo-moulded, and there is a boarded door. The front of the building mainly features 19th and 20th-century small-paned casement windows, including three dormers with gabled eaves.
On the rear wall, there are two ovolo-moulded mullion windows, one of which is now blocked. Inside, there are notable period features such as exposed beams, a post and panel screen that divides two western rooms, and a square-panel timber-framed partition wall between the lower hall and two end rooms. This partition wall has an original opening with an ornate doorhead. There are only remnants of 18th-century stairs that rise beside the central stack. The east side of the stack has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel, while the west fireplace is now blocked.
