The farmhouse of the 119 acre (48ha) farm probably occupies an early site. It is largely of c1700, owned by William Williams in the early C18, who bought Penarth-uchaf from James Owen. It was described in the early C19 as having a capacious hall and elegant light apartments. It has some later additions, including the E range, and its later rear extension.
Built of stone, pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered dressings, with small old slate, partially grouted roof with rooflights. Two storeys and attic, the main block of 4 window bays, extended in line to the SE by a lower 2-window service range possibly of slightly later date. A major wing on the N side of the main range, probably contemporary, contains the stair and has been extended by lean-to on the W, and a second rear wing to the extension contains the kitchen. Entrance now through an added lean-to porch on the E range - a boarded door. The main front door in the centre of the main range is set within a C19 gabled glazed porch. 4-pane sash windows.
The main front entrance opens across the E end of a main reception hall, and leads to a stair in the rear wing. The hall has a tiled floor, a heavy cross beam, and a post and panel partition, with openings into a reception room on the right with a large stack, the fireplace largely blocked. To the rear, a rear passage leads to the later extension. The W wall of the entrance hall has some good C18 or early C19 cupboards with the sides canted to a central door to an inner parlour against the road gable end. The dog-leg stair is of c1700, with moulded square newels, string and stick balusters, and simple brackets to the treads. The extension in line has a steep stair, and two living rooms, with a kitchen in the rear wing. The primary building has a 6-bay roof, of A-frame trusses carrying a single tier of purlins, the apex pegged. The roof of the extension is of 3 bays, with a lower pegged collar trusses and 2 tiers of purlins.
Listed as a largely C18 gentry farmhouse, retaining early character in external massing (notwithstanding renewal of detail), and with good interior features.
