Description
Pentre Hall is a two-storey house with an attic. The timber-framed section consists of two bays and has been heavily rendered, although box framing with brick nogging is visible on the west side above a lean-to structure. The west gable has a slightly narrower pitch, with light timbers and brick nogging at the apex. This gable features the entrance, which includes a partially lit panelled door. The gable bressumer on the east range has an inscription: 16. MI. E: EE. 89. A brick stack is located immediately east of the valley between the gables, and it is possible that there was originally an entrance opposite it. Most windows are horned sashes, similar to those on the later south range, except for some small pane casement windows on the ground floor. The east gable has a canted bay window with three sash windows.
The south range, added as a new front, consists of three bays and is built of coursed masonry with a tiled roof and two brick end stacks. The west stack is stepped at the base, possibly indicating a bakeoven. The façade is symmetrical with a three-window range, where the central bay features a projecting pedimented gable. This section includes a modern front door set within an architrave, flanked by panelled pilasters that support a leaded entablature hood. The windows throughout are horned 12-pane sashes under voussoired heads with high key stones, except for the pedimented section, which has wooden lintels, with the upper one removed. The attic features one window in the pedimented section and two skylights, one on each side. Two cross-shaped tie plates are present at attic floor level.
Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection in January 1996. It is reported to contain two well-preserved staircases from the late 17th and 18th centuries, one on each side. Additionally, it is said to have well-preserved timber-framed partitions, beams with ogee stops, and plaster detailing on the ceiling of the masonry section.
