Penlan/Penlan

Penlan is a large farmhouse from the 19th century that was refronted around 1890. It is built of rubble stone with slate roofs and has rendered stacks. The main house is two stories tall and features five windows, with end stacks and a ridge stack located between the third and fourth bays. The window heads are rendered, and the windows are 20th-century plastic-coated sashes with slate sills. There is a Caerbwdy stone enclosed porch in the second bay, which has a Tudor-arched doorway and a low pitched roof. The two bays beyond the ridge stack have ground floor windows that are regularly spaced.

Attached to the south end is a lower two-story service range, which has a grouted slate roof, a large stone end stack, and a front wall made of purple rubble stone. This range includes two first-floor four-pane sashes with red brick heads and Caerbwdy stone sills. There is a door in a 20th-century porch at the left angle and a broad cambered-headed window to the right with a brick head and a pair of small-paned casements.

At the north end of the main house, there is a late 19th-century cartshed range with a slate roof and two broad cart entries flanking a door that has a cambered stone head.

The front garden of the house is enclosed by attractive low rubble walls, which have two sets of pyramid-capped piers at the gateways. One pier at the northwest angle features a Caerbwdy stone fragment of a carved face incorporated into its cap.
