Description

Henley Farmhouse, dating to the late 16th century, has undergone extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of brick with painted timber-frame and rendered panels, set on a brick plinth, and has a plain-tile roof. A brick ridge stack features six spurred shafts and the original cap. Projecting eaves chimneys with three spurred shafts are present on the 18th-century extension, and a 19th-century chimney sits on the north cross wing.

The external appearance comprises a three-window range with a two-window range 18th-century extension to the south, and a 17th-century cross wing, also extended in the 18th century. The east front has three framed bays to the centre, with an additional half-bay, close-studded with some square framing, including a sill plate, girding beam, posts, mid rail, studs, and former window-sill rails. A single 2-light casement is in the middle bay, with a 3-light 20th-century window below. The 18th-century extension to the left has a 2-light casement above a front entrance door, which is sheltered by a flat, lead-roofed canopy with a plain, beaded boarded door and an ovolo-moulded door frame lintel. A 20th-century casement window is to the ground-floor left. A gable-end of the cross wing is visible to the right, with single stone mullion windows and stone surrounds; these are three-light at attic level, five-light at first floor, and four-light with leaded lights at ground floor.

The north return of the cross wing presents a two-storey, two-window range of stone mullion windows with stone surrounds: a four-light window at first floor and a three-light window at ground floor, with the left side brick-blocked and partially covered by a projecting brick stack. A door to the flat is centrally positioned, with a plain boarded door in a door frame with a cambered head. The left gable return has 20th-century casements at first floor and a single 19th-century casement in the attic, while the ground floor is obscured by 20th-century single-storey extensions.

The rear of the main range features a two-storey, two-window range of 3-light casements with top lights. A projecting stack and ground-floor lean-to are to the right. To the left is a projecting cross wing extension with a single 3-light casement to each storey. An entrance to the cellar is via a plain boarded door at the foot of a flight of steps. The interior was not inspected.
