Description
The farmhouse at Pencoed Castle is a two-storey and attic building influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, featuring simple detailing. Its design is characterized by tall gables reminiscent of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The exterior is constructed of rubble with quoins and relieving arches above all windows. It has a steep stone tile roof with swept eaves and corbelled, split stone kneelers, along with tall rubble chimney stacks. The front of the building faces away from the castle, with the entrance located on the inner side of the projecting left end, creating an approximate "L" shaped plan. There is a single-storey projection to the right.
The elevations are extensively glazed, showcasing two and three-light leaded casement windows that echo the mullioned Tudor windows of the castle below. Inside, there is a large inner porch with several doorways, and the front features one hipped roof attic dormer and another flat-roofed dormer above the entrance. Additionally, there is a further entrance on the left side of the main front gable, which is beneath a stepped back cat-slide roof that extends almost to ground level, with a projecting gable beyond. The interior has been divided into flats and was not available for inspection at the time of the survey in September 1995.
