Description
Pentre-Gwyddel is a building constructed from local rubblestone, which has been entirely rendered and painted, topped with natural slate roofs. The main structure consists of two sections, both with a single depth plan and large rear wings.
The left section is two storeys high with an attic, featuring a central entrance and three windows. It has a part-glazed door beneath a pent porch with solid sides. All windows are two-light, 6 over 6 pane casements made with late 20th-century joinery. A line across the front at first floor level aligns with the eaves of the right section, possibly indicating a heightening. The steeply pitched roof includes three rooflights and brick gable stacks, with the left stack having a stone base, which is the original. The left gable return is blind.
The right section is made of painted rubblestone and has a small late 20th-century projection at the front with a dormer above, all featuring late 20th-century joinery. This section is only one storey and attic high, with a much lower roofline.
The rear elevation reveals a large gabled wing attached to the main section, which is three storeys tall and has small casement windows, all with late 20th-century joinery. There is also a smaller gabled wing on the lower section.
The interior has undergone significant changes in both layout and details. It features cruck principal roofs with three tiers of purlins and considerable late 20th-century steel strapping.
