Description

Penrhos farmhouse, which includes a farm range to the right, dates from the late 16th century or 17th century and has origins as a longhouse. The house has undergone significant alterations in the mid to late 19th century. It is a single-storey structure with an attic, consisting of 2-3 bays, and features a 1-bay rear wing with a gable stack. The windows are modern casements made of timber, and there are external stone stacks on the gables, with the right stack possibly being inserted or rebuilt. The first floor has two gabled windows.

Attached to the right is a cow house, which has a wide boarded door that provides access to the house through the gable end, following the longhouse tradition. The building is constructed of whitewashed stone, with some loft openings partially covered in weatherboarding and corrugated iron replacing the original stone slate. There is also a later pitching door to the hay loft.

At the time of inspection, the house was not accessible. The cowhouse features a central feeding walk accessible from a door on the rear elevation. It has a residual truss built into the house's gable wall, with principals that are likely crucks, including integral steps for knee braces to the cambered collar. This collar has a dropped center abutment, and the raking struts create side trefoils and a center quatrefoil at the apex. The principals are tenoned at the apex, notched for the ridge, and trenched for an upper purlin. The knee braces have nine pegs to the collar and twelve to the cruck blades. The lower collar is supported by a raking timber notched into the back of the blade, which is visible on one side only.
