Description

Pen-y-Lan Farmhouse is a two-storey building primarily constructed of rendered stone and topped with concrete tiles. The west elevation features a porch with a double ovolo-moulded lintel above the door, and a window with an old lintel situated above it. The north porch window is blocked and has a stone label above it, while the other doors and windows are made of wood from the 19th and 20th centuries, including upper dormer windows. A central stone chimney is present, with the north side showing exposed stone and the chimney having stone-coped offsets. On the east side, there are four original square-shaped lower windows, including a stairlight, all with stone labels, and upper windows in the dormers. There is also a lean-to addition made of stone, concrete blocks, and an asbestos roof, which dates from two different periods. The south side has a blocked original window in the gable, featuring four lights with square mullions set diagonally under a stone label.

The doors are mainly planked and date from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a plank door to the bathroom that dates back to the 17th century. The ground-floor rooms have deep-chamfered ceiling beams, and the hall contains a 17th-century doorframe and a blocked fireplace. Adjacent to this is a staircase with stone treads from the 17th century. There is a chamfered plank and muntin partition leading to the inner room, where a beam across the front of the chimney has served as the head of a partition. The inner room has a raised stone floor and was formerly subdivided, with remnants of a chamfered plank and muntin partition. The rear window features 18th or 19th-century shutters. The cellar has a stopped ovolo-moulded doorframe leading from the hall, with a shaped inner head and an original door. The inner door and frame, along with the hinges and wooden handle, date from the 17th century, and the staircase nearby is also from that period. On the first floor, the head of the 'cellar' stairs is framed with 17th-century oak wainscot, and there is a matching scratch-moulded six-panelled door. Above the kitchen, there is an 18th-century partition and door.
