Penwyn (previously White Cottage) is one of a pair of 18th century cottages. The eastern half of an almost symmetrical arrangement. Pair of windows on ground floor of street elevation with painted plank door and open front porch between. Original lean-to extention to rear (now bathroom) with 1960s kitchen extension attached. Nothing of great merit inside. The inglenook fireplace has been partially removed but the original bread oven remains. Current owner plans to rebuild 1960s kitchen extension, reposition staircase which is thought to be part of 1960s conversion and restore fireplace. See report for full details.
