Penygilfach

Penygilfach is a house that has one-and-a-half storeys at the uphill end and two-and-a-half storeys at the downhill end. The walls are made of random rubble and painted white, with a noticeable batter, and the roof is covered with concrete pantiles. A central stone ridge stack is a 19th-century rebuild.

At the uphill end facing the yard, there are 19th-century openings offset to the left under stone lintels, featuring two-light casements flanking a boarded door. To the right, there is a small stair light. The downhill end has a wide boarded door to the left leading to the cross passage, and a 19th-century bay window to the right set on a stone plinth, all beneath a 17th-century pentice with a corrugated iron roof. In the upper storey, there are two small two-light casements beneath the wall plate and a small stair light to the right. A 19th-century roof dormer to the left has a two-light casement.

The left gable end of the house features an attic window with an original wood frame for diamond mullions, although it now has inserted glazing. The right gable end has attached outbuildings, is cement rendered, and has an inserted attic window.

The rear of the house was transformed into a new front in the late 19th century. In the centre, there is a 19th-century gabled porch with an attached lean-to made of snecked stone, featuring a Tudor-headed doorway and a boarded door, along with a two-light casement to the right. To the left of the porch, the downhill end has a 18th-century external stack that was rebuilt in the 19th century above the eaves. Flanking the stack are casements in earlier openings on the first floor, and a casement under a 19th-century lintel lower left. At the uphill end, there is a 19th-century half-dormer in the centre with a renewed casement under a stone lintel, a 19th-century two-light casement below, and a similar casement to the right lighting the original parlour, all under a drip stone.

Inside the house at the upper end, there are cross beams with stepped stops in the hall. The hall fireplace is boarded up, and to the right of it is a stone stair. Other interior features at the uphill end were introduced by the Pendarren Estate. The downhill end, including the cross passage, was not inspected but is said to retain a Tudor-headed doorway to the hall from the cross passage.
