Description
Perllandy, also known as The Apple Tree, is a half-timbered building of type 'C', featuring one storey and an attic, with black and white square panel framing. The west gable end is two storeys high. The older sections of the building have wattle and daub infill and a steep slate roof, while the later part is brick nogged with higher eaves. There are rubble chimney stacks, which have been replaced to the east and feature weathercoursing to the west.
The main front faces north and consists of four bays, arranged as three windows plus one, with two gabled dormers. The dormer closest to the main entrance is taller and broader. The left-hand window is set back and has slightly more regular framing. Modern casement windows have been installed. The entrance has a bracketed hood and a boarded stable door. The west front, facing China Street, has two windows and is made of whitewashed brick, featuring a blocked narrow attic opening and a modern tea room window below a Victorian cornice, along with a six-panel door. A rubble cross gable occupies the corner site, splayed out from the apex. The earlier sections of the building have a dog-legged roof at the rear, which incorporates a full-length 19th-century rubble lean-to with brick dressings and modern windows. The left gable end is timber framed and square panelled, similar to the rest of the building. A modern flat roof extension connects to the house at the rear.
Inside, the building largely retains its original plan, which includes a central hall with a back-to-back chimney and parlours on either side. The hall features stop-chamfered beams and joists, along with a timber lintel above the fireplace. The east parlour contains a reused 17th-century balustraded dog gate set into the wall framing, as well as what appears to be an upturned depressed ogee door lintel. The current lounge, likely a late 17th or early 18th-century extension, has had its floor removed, creating a full-height space with an unusually broad and massive chimney breast that steps up to the roof ridge, featuring a cambered lintel above the fireplace. The gable end is square panelled. Upstairs, in one of the bedrooms, a purlin runs unbroken across the dormer opening. The trusses include tie and collar beams, queen struts, and overlapping purlins.
