Description
This is a 17th-century outbuilding range, remodelled in the 18th century, located to the east of Lower Pentre Farmhouse. It is designed in an L-shape, featuring two storeys with an attic. The building is constructed of rubble stone, which has been overpainted, with a slate roof on the west side and asbestos sheeting on the east. There are rubble stacks at the east gable and to the west of the centre. The windows are arranged randomly, mostly beneath crude stone hood moulds, while the west gable has a more formal arrangement, including an attic window and a row of doveholes at the apex. The first floor retains mullion windows of diamond section at both the front and rear.
Adjoining the farmhouse is a farm range that includes stables and a byre set at right angles to the house. This section is also made of rubble stone with an asbestos roof. It features four boarded doors, a dormer loft opening, and a loft window facing the yard. On the garden side, there are partially concealed mullion windows under hood moulds, equipped with internal shutters made of rough boards hung on gudgeon pins. The stable was part of the house within living memory, and two blocked doors indicate the former location of a passage. The cowhouse includes a central transverse feeding passage, with boarded partitions creating stalls and a calves' cott, as well as low wooden mangers.
The principal partition walls are of post and panel construction, although only one, located in the dairy, is visible. Inside the dairy, there is an exposed ogee-moulded beam, and the two eastern rooms feature thick-set, closely spaced chamfered joists with ogee stops. An ornate 17th-century doorhead separates these two rooms. In the central room, a large ovolo moulded fireplace lintel is partially concealed. The end room was partitioned off in the 18th or 19th century, with a corn drying kiln built into the chimney alcove, although much of this has been removed due to recent alterations. The floors are made of flagstones and early wide floorboards.
