Penlan and attached byre

This is a long, single-storey building with an attic, originally comprising a range and an attached byre. The construction is primarily of rubble stone with a corrugated iron roof, but a 19th-century brick unit is attached to the left. A large stone stack is present on the left, and a brick end stack serves the brick section. The front entrance is positioned in front of the stone stack, featuring a planked door, with surrounding brickwork rebuilt when the brick unit was added. A three-light casement window with a moulded wooden frame illuminates the hall, and a similar two-light window serves the adjacent inner room. Further along the right side is a cow-house with three doorways set beneath timber lintels; the planked doors are mostly original, though the leftmost door, reportedly from a church, is ribbed. The doorway to the right has been enlarged to accommodate two doors, the rightmost leading into the stable, with brick jambs. The central doorway retains part of a brick jamb. A dormer window provides access to a planked loft hatch in the upper storey. The brick unit to the left of the front entrance has a two-light casement window, with matching windows on the west gable end and the rear (north) side. The rear of the stone range features a four-pane window with a timber lintel to the inner room, and further along, a doorway and window opening. The east gable is weather-boarded, with a blockwork lean-to below.

The interior has a small lobby leading to a hall on the right and an added kitchen to the left. The hall contains a large fireplace with a wooden lintel, partly obscured by a mantelpiece. Within the fireplace is an iron grate and a swinging bar suspended from chains, used for hanging cooking pots. A bakeoven is built into the right-hand jamb of the fireplace. To the right of the fireplace is a wooden dog-leg staircase. The hall features a chamfered cross-beam and exposed joists, along with a flagstone floor and partial wainscot panelling. Wattle and daub partitions with planked doors separate the hall from the inner rooms, which were formerly used as bedrooms. The 19th-century kitchen has an end-fireplace and a 20th-century canted boarded ceiling.

The central doorway into the byre opens onto a feed walk with mangers on either side. Wooden stall partitions, running at right angles to the feed walk, are retained in the right-hand bay, while the left bay is open. The wall between the byre and inner rooms appears to be a later addition. The ceiling above exposes joists leading to lofts. The stable itself was not entered.
