Pentre Wheeler Farmhouse

Pentre Wheeler Farmhouse is a two-and-a-half storey farmhouse with two windows and end chimneys. It features roughcast render over local rubble, a slate roof, and brick stacks on the end chimneys, with the southern stack being extruded. The windows are mainly small-pane casements. The central doorway has a gabled hood and a 19th-century door, above which is a datestone inscribed with "1683", fleurs-de-lys, and the initials "I" over "TM". On the upper floor, there are two 3-light casement windows, with a similar window to the left of the entrance. The former window to the right has been converted into a door, which is now covered by a lean-to made of exposed stone with a pantile roof; this roof was being re-roofed to a slightly higher level during a survey on September 2, 2000. Small windows are present in the gables at attic level, and there are two small casement windows on each floor at the rear, spaced widely apart. To the north, there is a former kitchen block featuring a large extruded convex bread-oven at the front and a pitched corrugated sheet roof; behind this is a lean-to that was a former cellar, now serving as a kitchen. The farmhouse is part of a good group with its barn, which stands about 10 meters to the south on the same axis.

Inside, the hall, or "housepart," has two axial ceiling beams with tongue-stopped ovolo moulding, although the joists are concealed by a 19th-century boarded ceiling. There is a fireplace at the southern end with a mason-mitred ovolo-moulded wooden lintel. A muntin-and-rail panelled partition is located at the northern end under a beam, with a similarly panelled door. In the rear northwest corner, there are quarter-turned bottom flights of a fine framed newel staircase featuring closed string, turned newels and balusters, and a moulded handrail that rises to the attic. The parlour beyond the partition has axial beams similar to those in the hall. The former cellar and kitchen are now ceiled, and the former kitchen has been partitioned, with its fireplace and oven blocked. At the first floor level, there is plank-and-panel partitioning in the chambers, creating a landing-passage that would be unusual for the later 17th century but may be original, along with one door of muntin-and-rail panelling. The roof includes two collar trusses.
