Penglanowen Fawr

Penglanowen Fawr is a farmhouse and courtyard of outbuildings, constructed from whitewashed rubble stone with slate roofs, although the whitewash on the farm buildings has eroded. The farmhouse is positioned at the upper end of the building complex, with a barn at the lower end, a cowshed in the left side range, and stables and a cartshed in the shorter right range. Access to the yard is between the upper gable end of the right range and the front of the farmhouse.

The farmhouse is two-storey and was raised a storey in the late 19th century or early 20th century, as indicated by the brick corners. It features an end-entry and two yellow-brick chimneys. The left end wall has a 20th-century door in a blocked cartshed with stone voussoirs, one window to the right, and two above, all of which are 20th-century windows. The front wall has a two-storey, two-window range of 4-pane sashes, with smaller upper windows under the eaves and longer lower windows with brick heads. The rear has three windows under the eaves and two windows with brick heads below. The right end wall is made of rubble stone above an attached single-storey whitewashed rubble range with a roof hipped to the right, connecting to the lower roof of the left side cowshed. This range has three full-height openings: the first has a window and door inserted, the second is broad with a stone pier to the right, and the third is half-infilled up to the corner with the left side range. There is a lean-to on the rear.

On the left side, the former byre has three doors stepped down the slope, each with stone voussoirs. There are two windows alternated between the doors, also with stone voussoirs, and one small window, possibly inserted, to the right.

The barn at the lower end features a hipped slate roof that is taller than those of the side ranges, with an elliptical-arched high-door entry to the left of centre, two vent loops to the right of centre, and a blocked door with stone voussoirs further right. The right end wall has a window with stone voussoirs on each floor, and there is a lean-to on the rear.

The right side stable and cartshed range has a window, door, window, and door to the former stables on the left, with stone voussoirs under the eaves. The doors have 6-pane overlights, and the windows are divided by a stone-slab sill at mid-height. The two cart entries on the right have broad flattened elliptical arches with a stone pier between them. The right gable end features stepped coping.
