Pen-Rhiw

Pen-Rhiw is a two-storey, two-window house with an attached byre, constructed from battered whitened rubble stone walls. The house features a slate roof and masonry end stacks that have been heightened in brick. There are added lean-tos at the rear. The front of the house includes a gabled porch on the right with a boarded and ribbed door set beneath an arched head. The window openings are offset to the left and have segmental stone heads and stone sills, with hoodmoulds on the lower storey. The windows on the right are wider, and all openings contain small-pane Breconshire windows. The cow house to the right is lower and has a roof that is partly covered with stone tiles and partly with slate. It features boarded doors under timber lintels on both the left and right sides of the centre. In the northern gable end, there is a loft hatch under a timber lintel, which is offset to the left, and below it is an added one-storey lean-to with a boarded door. The southern gable end is rendered and has a window offset to the left in the upper storey, along with a small bunker at ground level. At the rear, there are two added lean-tos; the one on the right is almost full height and includes a 20th-century red brick stack and a casement window. Behind the byre, there is another lean-to with a boarded door leading into the byre. There was no access to the interior at the time of inspection in December 1997.
