Description
Lower Hendre is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and squared sandstone, topped with concrete tiled roofs and featuring brick stacks. The building has an irregular plan, with the main range oriented roughly east to west, a cross-wing at the east end, and a smaller wing extending north from the west end.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. The south elevation features a mix of 2:1 windows and late 20th-century casements with two lights, all set beneath segmental heads. There are also two late 20th-century canted bay windows to the left of the entrance, which is sheltered by an early 20th-century canopy located at the junction of the main range and the gable front. The attic window in the gable is a 3-light early 19th-century casement. To the left side, there is a low two-storey extension with a hipped roof.
On the north elevation, the left gable front has two partly blocked openings, one on each storey to the right side. The lower opening, located to the right of a glazed early 20th-century kitchen door, features two oak diamond-section mullions. The centre of the main range includes a 3-light late 18th to early 19th-century casement on the first floor and a contemporary six-panelled door, both under segmental heads. Inside, the ground floor showcases heavy chamfered ceiling beams, although the trusses were not inspected. Notably, despite being built on sloping ground with a very deep plinth, the building does not have any cellars. Lower Hendre is included for its group value.
