Penralltcych

Penralltcych is a farmhouse that was formerly a gentry house, constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with imitation-slate roofs and late 19th-century red and yellow brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has an L-shaped plan. It features two ranges, with the northern range having a rear stair gable.

The southern front has three windows arranged over two storeys, with c1900 horned sash windows consisting of 6 panes over 2 panes. The windows have timber lintels and slate sills. There is a chimney at the left end and another on the ridge to the right, which may be at the original right end of the building. The rear is made of rubble stone, partially whitewashed, and includes a projecting stair gable to the right of centre. This gable has a window on each floor, featuring an oak lintel under a rough dripstone: the attic window is blocked, the first-floor window is a casement, and the basement window has been altered.

The rear walls on either side are windowless, with a blocked opening at ground floor level on the left side, marked by a timber lintel. There is a straight joint indicating the original end wall, with a section added at right angles that has a hipped roof. This section has one window on the first floor and a 4-pane window on the ground floor to the left, both with timber lintels. A rubble stone lean-to is present on the end wall, featuring a ground floor window with a timber lintel. This lean-to has been raised and fronted with mid-20th-century red brick, projecting beyond the rear of the other range.

The range at right angles has a west front with two mid-20th-century metal windows on each floor to the left, a whitewashed shaped date plaque (illegible) to the right, and a blocked small window on each floor with stone voussoirs at the extreme right. The south end wall shows very poor stonework and has a stone shelf where a lean-to has been removed, along with a door on the ground floor to the left. The rear features an outshut, with eaves raised in mid-20th-century brick and two mid-20th-century metal windows. There is also a mid-20th-century red brick addition to the right.

The interiors have not been inspected but are reported to have undergone significant alterations in the 1950s, including the replacement of both staircases.
