History
Early C19 farmhouse, a small holding of 16 acres (6.5 hectares) which was farmed and occupied in the mid C19 by a quarryman, John Hughes, and his family. The Tithe Map of the parish is hard to read and the Tithe Apportionment does not list Penllyn by name although it appears in the Census returns of that year, 1841.
Exterior
Early C19 2-storey farmhouse in Georgian vernacular style, with single storey service wing to rear and outshut built in the SW angle under a catslide roof. Built of rubble masonry, the L gable return pebbledash rendered. Slate roof has stone coping and rectangular gable stacks with capping. Principal elevation faces the road to the E, a 2-window range with central doorway and 12-paned hornless sashes; the service wing has a small paned light in the N wall.
Interior
Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good early C19 farmhouse which retains many features, including the original fenestration, and its original vernacular character.
