Description
Penlasgarn Farmhouse is a hall and parlour farmhouse, likely dating from the early 17th century. The service end of the building has been largely rebuilt and is now part of the adjoining Penlasgarn House, which is not included in this listing. The farmhouse is constructed from squared white limestone rubble laid in random courses and is roofed with concrete triple Roman tiles. It features modern windows.
The structure is a one and a half storey, two-cell range with a lobby entry on the left. This entry is set within a two-storey gabled porch that has a stilted arch doorway. Above the doorway, but not centrally located, is a two-light casement window. To the right of the porch are two additional casement windows, with two gabled half dormers positioned above them. The roof is steeply pitched, featuring a plain kitchen stack on the left, which is now integrated into the higher ridge line of Penlasgarn House, and a parlour stack on the right gable end, which shows weathering for a former thatched roof.
Inside, the ground floor has a two-cell layout with the lobby entry leading to the hall, which is now used as a kitchen. This hall has a stone flag floor and a large fireplace with a huge lintel, which has been altered, along with a bread oven. The ceiling features chamfered beams with lambs tongue stops. A similar design is present in the oak plank and muntin screen that separates the hall from the parlour, which retains an original doorway and an open fireplace with a renewed lintel. The beams in the parlour are 30 centimeters deep and 15 centimeters wide, with a 12.5-centimeter chamfer. An oak staircase located behind the kitchen fireplace leads to a room with fine wide oak floorboards, although the room above the parlour has had its floorboards replaced. The A-frame roof is well-finished, with smooth surfaces and chamfers and stops on the principals.
