Farm Building Range on E Side of Yard at Pentre Farm

This is a complex of 19th-century farm buildings, likely constructed in the early, mid, and later 19th centuries. The buildings are of rubble stone construction with slate roofs. The ranges are stepped down the slope around the farmyard.

To the left is a substantial four-bay range with later 19th-century cut stone surrounds and triangular-headed windows; these windows have nine panes to the upper floor. There’s a blocked door, two ground-floor doors, and a window below. Three ledged and pierced doors provide ventilation. The north end has external steps leading to a loft door and an apex roundel. The rear elevation shows evidence of blocked earlier openings, incorporated into a deep, open lean-to shed supported by timber posts. Three later 19th-century triangular-headed windows are also visible on the rear.

A rubble stone tower stands centrally, featuring a dove-shelf under a pyramid roof with an iron vane. It connects to the range on the left, and contains a single triangular-headed ground-floor window. The rear shows the roof of the upper range extending along the southeast hip, also under a dove-shelf, with a single first-floor sash window. The south side of the tower has a dove-shelf and a window. The interior of the upper parts of this range contains dove shelves and hewn beams below.

A lower range is attached to the right, and is broader, with a hipped roof to the south. External steps lead to a loft door alongside the tower, set diagonally in a short return. Two brick-headed nine-pane sash windows face the yard on the first floor. A ground-floor door is located to the left, with stone voussoirs. The rear is of squared stone and features two matching upper windows and a pair of large coach entries with depressed arches, cut stone voussoirs and ledged doors. The loft interior has a six-bay roof with stapled collar trusses and angle struts.

A rear range extends east from the rear junction of the two main front ranges; the roof oversails a thoroughfare, the opening of which has been damaged by widening. To the right of this section is a coach-house with projecting cut stone detailing and a depressed arched entry. Plain rubble stone is visible to the right, alongside a window with stone voussoirs. Two further lower ranges extend beyond, located behind the farmhouse; one features a door and window, while the other has a door, window, and door.
