Description
The coach-house to the east of Penylan is a two-storey building dating from the 19th century. It is constructed from roughcast rubble stone with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof with flat eaves. At the top, there is an octagonal timber cupola topped with a leaded dome. The northern front has a three-window range, showcasing three triple-casement loft windows with stone voussoirs and a band of Cilgerran stone. There are three tall arched cart entries, each with stone voussoirs and Cilgerran stone imposts.
On the southern side, the building has a slightly projected centre with an open pedimental gable, a roundel plaque, and pairs of first-floor casement windows on either side of a triple casement window in the centre. The ground floor features tall narrow arches on each side, one of which is a shallow niche while the other contains a door with broad tracery in the head. The centre has a blocked elliptical arch with raised springers and a keystone.
To the west, there is a contemporary single-storey wing with a Cilgerran stone plinth. This wing has a projecting pedimented centre with an oval in the pediment, a 12-pane window on the left, and a 16-pane window in the centre, both with stone voussoirs and recessed in square frames. To the right, there is a broad doorway with a plain timber lintel. The western gable is pedimental and features an oval traceried light. The ground floor includes a 4-panel door with a traceried overlight and stone voussoirs.
A single-storey wing extends to the north, which has a north end stack and 16-pane sashes on either side of the door, also with stone voussoirs. The eastern rear wall contains a 16-pane sash window.
To the west of the main block, there is a derelict outbuilding, likely older, with a corrugated iron roof and steps leading to a loft door on the northern side. The southern side is obscured but features a slate-capped plinth. Inside, the building has a joisted floor and a four-bay roof supported by tie-beams, queen posts, a collar, king strut, and angle struts to the trusses.
