Description
Pen-y-Ffos is a two-storey house built in a roughcast style, featuring three windows and nogged brick eaves. The slate roof was grouted in 1981, and there are roughcast end stacks. The outer bays have 12-pane sash windows, while the center has a narrower 8-pane sash above a half-glazed door, which is topped with a painted timber flat hood supported by brackets. The rear of the house has a roughcast outshut with an off-centre stair gable that includes a 12-pane sash window and a small light at the apex.
To the south, there is a single-storey range with a grouted slate roof and a central stone stack that has been heightened in brick. This section includes a garage door, a mounting block, and a front door, as well as two doors and a window at the rear.
The house originally featured panelled doors and a corbelled roof in the passage leading to the service range, which can be compared to 37 Goat Street. Inside, there was a slate-floored hall with a staircase and symmetrically cut flat balusters, along with fielded panelling on the chimney breast of the upstairs south room.
