Description

Pencwm is a building dated 1744, although it was likely rebuilt in the early 19th century. It features colourwashed roughcast walls, a slate roof, and rendered stacks. The service range on the left side was raised to an even roofline in the 20th century. The front of the building is two stories high with three windows, which contain 4-pane sash windows with slate sills. The lower sashes have stucco hoodmoulds, and there is a central door from the 20th century beneath a stucco ogee hoodmould. A date plaque is positioned above the door. At the rear, there is a lean-to, and the left end and northwest rear wing were rebuilt in the 20th century.

The interior has been altered, with the roof obscured, but the ends of some hewn principal rafters are visible, along with some hewn timbers in the lean-to.

Pencwm sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,180 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
