HUNGTINGTON CP - SO 25 SE 2/106 Penlan Farmhouse and adjoining outbuilding 19.8.53 (formerly listed as Penlan Farmhouse) GV II Shown on OS Map as Little Penlan. Farmhouse and adjoining outbuilding. Probably C15, altered and extended circa 1600 with further mid-C19 alterations. Timber-framed with painted brick and rendered infill and some weatherboarding on rubble base, partly underbuilt in rubble with brick dressings and partly roughcast. Stone- tiled roofs laid in diminishing courses. Former cruck hall house aligned north-east/south-east of which one bay survives together with a two-bay intersecting south-west cross-wing. Circa 1600, the main range was divided into two storeys, its north-east bay either rebuilt or added and an inter- secting north-east cross-wing of two framed bays (of different heights) also added to form an H-plan. Also two large external rubble chimneys with brick stacks were built at the north-west gable ends of both cross- wings. Lean-to additions with catslide roofs were built on either side of the main range at a later date. Part single-storey and attic with dormers, part two storeys. Framing: mainly four panels from sill to wall- plate with some small solid upper corner braces. The first floor of the south-west wing is jettied on shaped brackets at the south-east end (now underbuilt to the south-west side and north-west end). South-west wing has tie-beam trusses with raking struts. North-east wing has collar and tie-beam trusses with struts and V-struts above the collar. South-east front elevation: main range has a 2-light ground floor casement, a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement and the main entrance which has a gabled timber porch and plank and battened door. Left cross-wing gable end has a 3-light ground floor casement and a 2-light first floor casement. Right gable end has plank weatherings at girding-beam and tie-beam levels, a ground floor 4-light casement and a 2-light first floor casement. Interior: two pairs of full cruck trusses are visible. South-west cross-wing has chamfered ceiling beams dividing the ceiling into eight panels. There is also a doorway with a four-centred head. The outbuilding adjoins the north- east end. Possibly C17. Timber-framed with corrugated metal cladding and roofing. Two bays. Two levels. There are two doors in the south-east front elevation and also a painted brick single-storey wing which projects from the left bay. This has a 2-light casement at its gable end, a doorway in the left angle with the farmhouse and a C20 lean-to addition at the right side. Interior: wall-framing has three panels from sill to wall-plate. (RCHM, III, p 76, item 9; BoE, p 1981 Alcock, NW: CBA Cruck Catalogue, 1981).
