Description
Henwood Farmhouse is a building with a complex history, incorporating elements from the 17th century, rebuilt in the mid-18th century, and with a front facade dating from around 1840. It is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings. The front of the house has a roughcast finish, while the rear right wing, originally timber-framed, retains an exposed framed truss in its rear gable. The front has a half-hipped tile roof, while the rear wing features an M-shaped half-hipped roof with old tiles; brick rear lateral stacks and a right-end stack are also present.
The house is arranged with a double-depth plan and has two storeys, with a three-window front. The mid-19th century front features a glazed door, a timber porch, eight-pane sashes, and a narrow margin-light sash above the door, all set within raised rendered architraves. A small, late 18th century service block of brick with a gabled old tile roof is located at the rear.
Inside, the mid-18th century staircase is a straight-flight design, and the flanking rooms have boxed beams. The 17th century wing to the rear right displays a chamfered beam and a chamfered bressumer above an open fireplace in the ground-floor room. The roof was not inspected.
