Description
Penyrheol (Nos 1 and 2) is a two-storey main house with an attached one-and-a-half storey former byre on the right. The building is constructed of rubble stone, pebble dashed and painted white, with tile roofs; the former byre has a steep pitch. There are roughcast stacks added to the right of the main house and the right of the former byre, along with a small stack rising from the eaves on the front left.
The main house features a two-window early 19th century front, with late 19th century windows inserted into the openings. The upper storey has small-pane Breconshire windows, a horned sash window on the lower right, and a fixed light window on the lower left. The centrally-placed early 19th century doorway has a six-panel door with raised fields, although it is currently blocked. To the right of the main house is a ribbed and boarded door leading to the original cross passage, and above it is an inserted raking half-dormer with a late 19th century horned sash window. Further right, former openings are blocked, with visible lintels inside. The left gable end of the house has an attached chapel vestry, while the gable end of the former byre has a two-window arrangement with Breconshire windows in the attic and horned sashes below. There are later lean-tos at the back. The rear of the main house has an inserted horned sash window on the ground floor.
The plan of the main house was altered in the early 19th century but retains its original fireplace, which has a chamfered bressumer and remnants of a fireplace stair. In the upper storey, there are two half crucks in the rear wall that are no longer structural due to the roof being raised. The former cross passage contains an early 19th century straight stair with square newels and turned balusters.
