The old house is “ㅁ”-shaped, with “ㄴ”-shaped building and “ㄱ”-shaped building right over it. Behind the main building is a knoll that serves as a wall of the house. Detached buildings called “sarangchae” and “byeolchae” are used as a guesthouse where guests can experience an old traditional Korean house. The "sarangchae" with area of 40㎡ has two rooms, one living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There is a toenmaru (narrow wooden porch running along the outside of a room). The “byeolchae” has a large spacious room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There is a low wooden bench called “pyeongsang” in front of the “sarangchae” and “byeolchae.” Pungduck Old House is also well-known for its traditional red chili paste, so it offers a Traditional Red Chili Paste Class where participants can buy or make their own red chili paste, soybean paste, and grain syrup using traditional recipes. There is a fee for participating in the class, so make a reservation when booking.
