Description

Pantyfedwen is a large house, probably remodelled in the 19th century with later alterations around 1910 when an extension was built to the left. It has slate roofs. The main front features deep, flat eaves, shaped brackets, and rendered end chimneys. The facade is stuccoed with a dentilled course under the eaves, angle quoins, a plinth, two sill courses, and shouldered surrounds to the windows. It is two storeys high with a three-bay front, featuring large, four-pane horned sash windows and a central porch. The sills are painted slate. The gabled stuccoed porch is decorated with bargeboards and a finial, channelled angle piers, and rusticated voussoirs, with a square-headed entry and a half-glazed door with lattice glazing bars to the overlight. Ground floor window surrounds have keystones, and stone paving lies in front of the door, upon which the porch is built.

The gable return has been altered; one blocked doorway has been replaced with a window, and a first-floor window has been inserted in the main range. To the right, the side of the rear wing has two four-pane horned sashes. A double gable defines the rear, featuring two rendered chimneys, the right chimney having an external breast and appearing to be part of the older section of the house, with a window to each floor.

The added service range to the left of the front has shallower eaves, a yellow brick end stack, and a stuccoed front with matching detail. It features large six-pane sashes, two above and one below, aligned between the upper two, and a door to the right of the lower window. A half-glazed door with an overlight serves as the entrance.

Some earlier 19th-century detail is incorporated into the front range. The central staircase has been altered. The left-hand room contains an arched shelved recess (originally one of a pair) and a six-panel door. The room to the right also has a six-panel door and panelled shutters, with panelled doors to cupboards flanking the fireplace. A 19th-century door to the rear incorporates coloured glass insets. The rear wing kitchen has one heavy chamfered beam with scrolled stop, although the beam has been renewed, and a large fireplace with a corner bread oven. A thick wall to the left, now forming the exterior wall of the new kitchen, is present. To the right of the fireplace, a winding stone staircase rises.

The trusses are 19th century, bolted and with lapped collars, and the present wide eaves represent a later modification of the original roof slope.
