Panteg

Panteg is a small cottage that dates back to an unspecified period but features a single storey with a loft. The building is constructed of clom, with a stone-faced front wall that is likely original. The roof is thatched but currently covered with tin. It has gable end stacks, and the left-hand gable end has been rebuilt in brick, with a brick lean-to dairy added to the rear.

The main elevation has openings that are symmetrically arranged but offset to the left to accommodate a large internal chimney on the right-hand gable. There is a small fire-window for this chimney, which has a small-paned casement. The boarded door is flanked by sash windows, with a 12-pane window to the right and a 2-pane window with margin lights to the left. All openings feature slate sills and lintels. The left-hand brick gable has a 4-pane casement window in the upper right, providing light to the loft. The left-hand clom gable has largely collapsed, revealing that the main chimney was entirely constructed of clom, built on lifts supported by timber lintels. Evidence of a small loft window was found in the gable end.

The cottage is situated within its small field system and is defined by a distinctive curved wall made from large stone slabs, which marks the boundary of a former front garden and includes tall stone gate-piers.

Inside, the cottage has a simple two-room plan with a central entrance passage. There are horizontally boarded partitions on either side of the passage, and the floors are covered with quarry tiles throughout. The main living room on the right features a large fireplace with a chamfered timber bressumer, although the upper sections of the clom chimney have collapsed. The smaller parlour to the left of the passage contains a small later 19th-century fireplace. A ladder stair is positioned alongside the main chimney, which has been displaced but is likely close to its original location. The upper floor is divided into two chambers by a vertically boarded partition. Variations in the floor-boarding suggest that the cottage may have originally been built as a croglofft, with a full loft added later. The roof features five pegged collar trusses, and an early thatched roof remains, using straw rope to attach bundles of thatch to broad riven oak laths.
