Description
Pen-y-van is a small farmhouse with an attached barn and byre range. It is constructed from limewashed rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with brick end stacks. The building has a simple two-window facade with a central doorway. The first floor has small 3/3 pane casement windows with stone sills located directly under the eaves. The ground floor windows are larger, though not matching, and have shallow hoods that are not original. There is a boarded door, boulder footings, and a stone bench outside the right front window. The attached range consists of two sections and includes double doors and ventilation slits near the house, along with other openings that have timber lintels. The gable end has a loft opening that has been partly renewed in blockwork. At the rear, the barn unit has a pantiled roof and outshuts to the cottage, which features a small replaced ground floor window and a rooflight.
