Pantycelyn Farmhouse

Pantycelyn Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse constructed from dry dashed rubble stone, topped with a continuous slate roof and featuring three rendered stacks, one at each end and one to the left of the entrance. The building stands two storeys high with a loft and has an elongated three-room plan. The irregular facade is roughly divided by a central stack.

On the left side, there is a range of three windows, featuring later 19th-century sashes with marginal bars in the left bay, while the other two bays have shorter and narrower 12-pane horned sashes. To the right of the stack, the downhill end has a front door set within a late 19th-century gabled roughcast porch with a pointed entry, leading to a half-glazed door. Above this door is a small 6-pane window. The last two bays have windows at a lower level due to the slope of the ground, although the eaves line remains continuous. The first floor has a central 9-pane horned sash, followed by a later 19th-century sash with marginal bars on the right side.

The south end wall features a 20th-century loft light, while the rear of the farmhouse has mostly 20th-century windows. The lower end has two windows on each floor, flanking the door, while the upper end has a 9-pane and a 12-pane window on the first floor, a 20th-century window on the ground floor to the left, and a large lean-to on the right. The lean-to has a hipped roof at the south end, one rear window, and a tall stone stack on the roof slope where it meets the main roof.

The three-room plan includes a lower end kitchen that may have been remodeled from a byre, as suggested by the survival of a chamfered and curved wall-post at the top of the stairs just south of the entry, indicating ancient domestic use. There is a single flight of stairs on the front wall between the kitchen and the front door, which features stained glass panels created in 1991 by Janet Hardy. The upper end contains two parlours, both late 19th-century in character but overlaying older construction. The central chimney is quite large, positioned at the back of the entry, but has been infilled with a 19th-century fireplace.

The first floor showcases heavy chamfered beams throughout both parts of the farmhouse. The rear corridor of the upper end reveals the massive curved feet of two roof trusses, possibly crucks. The lower end has a full loft, with evidence of significant alterations to the roof to achieve the current even roof-line, featuring three pegged collar trusses and a fourth located close to the upper one, indicating changes to the roof structure.
