Penarth-fawr, Grade I listed hall house in Llanystumdwy, Wales
The medieval hall house features a stone construction with slate roofs, containing four bays divided between service rooms and a central hall section.
Built around 1476 for Madog ap Howel ap Madog, the house remained in the family line until Hugh Gwyn, High Sheriff of Caernarvonshire from 1599.
The building exemplifies Welsh medieval domestic architecture through its surviving spere screen, one of only twenty such structures remaining in Wales.
Located off the A497 road between Pwllheli and Llanarmon, the east wing remains private while the main structure is managed by Cadw.
The house contains an intact medieval roof system with cusped wind-braces and perpendicular Gothic details in its elaborately molded spere-posts.
