Lower Pentre Farmhouse

Lower Pentre Farmhouse is a 17th-century building that was remodeled in the 18th century. It has an L-shaped plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and is constructed of rubble stone, which has been overpainted. The west side features a slate roof, while the east side has asbestos sheeting. There are rubble stacks at the east gable and to the west of the center. The windows are arranged randomly, mostly beneath crude stone hood moulds, although the west gable has a more formal arrangement with an attic window and a row of doveholes at the apex. The first floor retains mullion windows with a diamond section on both the front and rear.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a farm range that includes stables and a byre set at right angles to the house. This structure is also made of rubble stone and has an asbestos roof. It features four boarded doors, a dormer loft opening, and a loft window facing the yard. On the garden side, there are partially concealed mullion windows under hood moulds, which have internal shutters made of rough boards hung on gudgeon pins. The stable was part of the house within living memory, and two blocked doors indicate the location of a former passage. The cowhouse includes a central transverse feeding passage, boarded partitions that create stalls and a calves cott, and low wooden mangers.

The principal partition walls are of post and panel construction, although only one, located in the dairy, is visible. The dairy features an exposed ogee-moulded beam, while the two eastern rooms have thick-set and closely spaced chamfered joists with ogee stops. There is an ornate 17th-century doorhead between these two rooms. In the central room, a large ovolo-moulded fireplace lintel is partially concealed. The end room was partitioned off in the 18th or 19th century, and a corn drying kiln was built into the chimney alcove, although much of this has been removed due to recent alterations. The floors are made of flagstone and early wide floorboards.
