Description
Penybont Farm's former farm buildings form a long range adjacent to the farmhouse, with the north end facing the village street.
On the left (south) is a three-bay structure made of roughly dressed uncoursed stone with a graded slate roof. The left and center sections contain a double stable featuring two boarded doors in camber-headed openings. To the right is an open-fronted cartshed bay that now functions as a garage, with ventilation slits above. The left gable end has a boarded loft door and a small hatch below it. The loft is weatherboarded and extends over the right bay.
In the center stands a timber-framed three-bay barn located on a sloping site, which has a small later loft added within the center bay. The barn features a stone basement and a stone gable wall to the north, topped with a slate roof and a tile ridge. Most of the timber framing at the rear has been lost, leaving only the main posts embedded in a later stone wall. The front is timber boarded, with some visible timber framing above the boarding, featuring woven lath infill. There are double doors to the barn on the left, a wide single heck door in the center (with traces of former corbelled steps leading up to it), and a basement door on the right. A window is located above the central door and in the right bay.
To the right is a cowhouse with six or seven stalls and a feeding walk at the rear, accessible from the barn's basement to its left. This structure is built of roughly dressed slate stone with a slate roof and tile ridge. It has two doorways at the front with cambered arches; the left doorway is now blocked with brickwork but has an inserted window. There are hatches and ventilation slits above, as well as additional ventilation slits in the right gable facing the street. A later brick and steel-sheeted lean-to is present at the front, with a smaller lean-to at the rear.
The barn features trusses with a tie beam and raking struts, along with a center post and tension braces below. The cowhouse retains the remains of stalls.
