Grade II listed Pentrebach House, Pentrebach
Grade II listed Pentrebach House, Pentrebach
Coflein records that Pentrebach House was an ironmaster's mansion said to have been built in 1850 for Anthony Hill of the Plymouth Ironworks in Merthyr Tydfil. The house is a substantial late Georgian to Italianate style country house. In the early 20th century the house was occupied by N.F. Hankey, the owner of Plymouth Collieries. Later used as an old people's home by the local authority, Pentrebach House was converted to an inn in the late 20th century. Grade II listed as a substantial house in the late Georgian style, of interest also as a surviving example of the house of a mid 19th century ironmaster.

In March 2019 names in view are Table Table pub & restaurant and Premier Inn.
Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.

In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.

In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.

In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
