Description
Pentre'r Gof, also known as Pentrego, is a Grade II* listed building featuring a combination of brick painted with framing and a timber-framed cross wing, topped with a slate roof. The structure stands two storeys tall and has three window bays, with a central cross passage. To the left is a kitchen, followed by a small front parlour, and at the eastern end, there is a forward projecting wing consisting of two bays. Attached to the western gable end is a one-storey and attic stone building. The property has two square star-patterned brick stacks with four flues each.
The eastern cross wing is timber framed, with a stone wall on the east side. The timber is close studded on stone footings, with a middle and upper rail forming a square panel at the top of the wall, infilled with braces that create oval shapes. The rear elevation features two original ogee-moulded cross windows, along with one on the side of the cross wing. There are also large 19th-century transomed paned windows that follow a similar pattern, complete with arch-headed openings and radiused quarter-lights. The upper windows display evidence of 16th to 17th-century moulded sills carved with low relief. The attached stone building includes a paired window and a small two-light gabled dormer, as well as a covered external area over the gable door that shelters the pump.
Inside, the kitchen at the western end has a gable stack with ogee stops on the chamfered fire lintel, along with two cross beams. A timber-framed partition separates the kitchen from the central cross passage, which leads to a 17th-century dog leg stair with turned balusters located behind the heated parlour in the right bay. The parlour features a large stone fireplace with an oven on the right, which is now covered. The cross wing, originally consisting of two rooms including a milk house at the rear, appears to have been added later, with a lateral stack connected to the back of the parlour stack. A small chamber is accessible through a panelled door with 'L' hinges from the front room and includes 17th-century panelled dado and a built-in cupboard. On the first floor, the chamber above the heated parlour contains some late 17th-century panelling, featuring a bolection-moulded fire surround and a raised panel above, along with an oak cornice. There are two-panelled fielded doors leading to closets and other similar doors throughout the space.
