Pen-y-Pentre (aka The Old Factory House)

Three-window house of one and a half storeys, with adjoining barn to W, and rear lean-to. Pebble-dashed with steeply pitched slate roof (indicating C17 origins), and stone stacks to L, R and R of centre. The front has 3 wide, gabled half-dormers and 2 doors; a wood planked door to the R of centre and a C20 half-lit door to the L of centre. They are located between the 3 ground floor windows, but the arrangement is not symmetrical, the R hand window offset further to the R. The windows have flat heads and stone lintels and are 4- over 8-pane sashes to the ground floor, and 3- over 6-pane sashes to the 1st floor.

The E gable of the house has a multi-pane window off-centre. The rear of the house has a 2-casement window. There is a long added lean-to to the rear, pebble-dashed under a corrugated roof with red brick end stack. It has a C20 half-lit door in the centre flanked by 2-light casement windows, and a further similar window in the E end.

The adjoining barn is slightly lower, of limewashed rubble masonry under a slate roof. The front has double planked doors under a long timber lintel, with a further single door to the L. In the W gable end, is a small wood-framed opening in the apex, perhaps originally with timber mullions.

The interior is modernised. The house was entered through the L door. The stairs are directly ahead, with the living room to the L. On the L wall is the fireplace, and former fireplace stairs are said to curve round to its N (now covered in). There is one cross beam without chamfers in the living room, with hooks for hanging meat.
