Description
Penpentre House is a house built of painted rubble stone, which was formerly lined with stucco to resemble ashlar. It features a deep-eaved slate roof that overhangs at the gable verges and has rendered end-wall stacks. The house has three storeys and a three-window range of small paned windows, which have stone voussoirs and stone sills. The top windows are 9-pane, Brecon hopper type, while the others are hornless sliding sashes, with 12 panes on the first floor and 16 panes below. The central door has stone voussoirs and is a half-glazed door. There was previously a pitched hood over an open porch with ornamental bargeboards and finials, but this was removed in 1987. The rear of the house has a whitewashed outshut.
In front, there is a terraced forecourt with a retaining wall made of squared stone, topped with wrought iron railings featuring scrolled finials and cast-iron urns on the stanchions. Three stone steps lead up to a wrought iron gate.
The interior was not inspected, but in 1987 it was noted to have a central corridor plan with a rear dog-leg timber staircase featuring moulded balusters. The interior also included late Georgian details such as six-panel doors, shutters, and moulded architraves.
