Penlan and attached byre

Long single-storey range with attic constructed of rubble stone under a corrugated iron roof, with large stone stack to the L. The C19 unit to the L is of brick, with a brick end stack. The entrance is in front of the stone stack and consists of a planked door, the surrounding fabric rebuilt in brick when the L unit was added. To the R is a 3-light multi-pane casement window with moulded wooden frame, lighting the hall. Further R is a similar 2-light window to the inner room. The cow-house is beyond and has 3 doorways with timber lintels. The doors are planked, but the L door has ribs and is said to have come from a church. The doorway to the R has been enlarged to contain 2 doors, that to the R leading into the stable. This doorway has brick jambs, whilst the central doorway has part of a brick jamb. Dormer to upper storey with planked loft hatch. The brick unit to the L of the front entrance has a 2-light casement window, with a similar window to the W gable end, and also to the rear (N) side. The rear of the stone range has a 4-pane window with timber lintel to the inner room, and further L, a doorway and window opening. The E gable end is weather-boarded to the gable, with a blockwork lean-to below.

Small lobby inside front entrance with hall to R and added kitchen to L. The hall has a large fireplace to the upper end with wooden lintel, partly obscured by a mantelpiece. Inside is an iron grate and a swinging bar on chains, from which cooking pots were suspended. Within the R jamb of the fireplace is a bakeoven with square head. To the R of the fireplace is a wooden dog-leg staircase. The hall has one chamfered cross-beam and exposed joists. Flagstone floor and partial wainscot panelling. Wattle and daub partitions with planked doors between hall and inner rooms. The latter were formerly used as bedrooms. The C19 kitchen has an end-fireplace and C20 canted boarded ceiling.

The central doorway into the byre opens onto a feed walk with mangers to either side. Wooden stall partitions at right angles to the feed walk are retained in the R bay, whilst the L bay is open. The wall between the byre and inner rooms appears to be an insertion. Ceiling with exposed joists to lofts above. Stable not entered.
