Description

Pontyperchill Farmhouse is a two-storey plus attic, L-shaped timber-framed house, featuring a main range with a cross-wing. The building has 19th-century roofs made of patterned tiles with crested ridge tiles. There are two 19th-century brick stacks, each with crosses in relief on all faces, located to the right of the main range and axial to the cross-wing. The main range is framed in square panels, while the cross-wing predominantly exhibits close studding, with square panels in the gable that have painted cusps. The plasterwork displays a variety of 19th-century designs, including horseshoes and Tudor roses, with a single pargeted Tudor rose on the front range.

The main range features a two-window front, with a three-light shallow oriel window on brackets to the right, under a hipped roof in the lower storey, and a two-light window to the left, flanking the four-panel front door. The right gable end has a lean-to with a tiled roof, above which the gable is close studded. The rear elevation includes fixed lights similar to those on the front. The cross-wing has a doorway at the angle with the main range. Its front gable features three- and four-light shallow oriel windows on brackets in the lower and upper storeys, respectively, along with a three-light casement window inserted in the gable during the 19th century. The ground floor window is also under a hipped roof that matches the one in the main range. The left side wall is weatherboarded and has casement windows, while the rear gable has three-light casements similar to those at the front.

Originally, the house likely consisted of a hall and kitchen in the main range, with a parlour and service room in the wing. In the 19th century, modifications were made, including the insertion of a full-height staircase in the former hall, while the kitchen became the parlour and vice versa. Inside the room to the right in the main range, there is a spine beam with ogee stops and a fireplace featuring an original bressumer and timber-framed baffle walls with brick nogging. The cross-wing includes a buttery accessed by stone steps at the rear.
