Description
The Bakehouse and Cider Cellar at Penygilfach is a tall and narrow two-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features battered walls made of random rubble and a 19th-century tiled roof. There is a rebuilt stone stack on the left side. The front of the building, which faces the house, has a 19th-century boarded and ribbed door to the right of the centre. To the right of the door is a diamond mullion window, and to the left is a two-light casement window. Above the doorway, there is a raking half-dormer. The left gable end includes an external stone stair leading to the granary loft, which has a doorway beneath a stone lintel. Although not inspected during the survey in December 1997, it was recorded by Jones and Smith as retaining two pairs of upper crucks and a post-and-panel partition.
