History
Exterior
Probably later C17 with C19 rewindowing and modern render. Single storey and attic 4 bay pebbledashed front with cement plinth, rusticated quoins and architraves. Steep and undulating slate roof and cement render chimney stacks,one opposite left gable end and another opposite the right hand entry; boarded eaves. 3 gabled dormers to left, slate hung and with casement windows; cills below eaves level. Below central 2 dormers are 3-light casement windows; these are flanked by later gabled porches with boarded doors (inset glazed panel to left). 2-light casements to either end and at extreme right end there is a further 1st floor window of C17 proportions and a boarded door into the former kitchen(?). Cement gable to right, brick chimney breast to left and outbuilding beyond.1-window to rear and small extension.
Interior
The main entrance is opposite the chimney; the lobby area has a C19 panelled dado. The parlour to the left, with the main fireplace, has deep and cruedly stopped chamfers to main beams. To the right was probably the kitchen and retains bread oven to fireplace and former winding stairs. To left of the parlour is a step down to the C19 staircase hall, then a step up to the end room. These have tidier stop chamfers to beams and joists suggesting a later date. It may be that it was originally a long house and that in C18 the animals were moved out of this left end and it was converted into domestic use. Tie and collar trusses with queen struts and trenched purlins. Half timbered partitions to attic and massive stepped chimney breast. Well to cellar.
Reason for designation
Group value with Penddol Bridge.
