Number 7 Hensington Farmhouse And Attached Farmbuildings

Number 7 Hensington Farmhouse and attached farmbuildings is a late 17th-century farmhouse located on the north side of the Banbury Road. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled concrete tile roof and ridge stacks finished in late 19th-century brick. It has a 3-unit plan and two storeys plus an attic, with a 5-window front. A timber lintel sits above the central 20th-century door, and timber lintels are also above 20th-century and late 19th-century 2-light and 3-light casement windows. Gabled dormers are present in the attic. The interior, while not inspected, is noted to contain chamfered beams and a narrow central hall with reset 17th-century dado panelling and a mid-18th-century quarter-turn staircase with turned balusters.

Attached to the front left of the farmhouse are 18th-century farmbuildings constructed of limestone rubble with a gabled concrete tile roof to the rear and a half-hipped stone slate roof to the front. A 4-bay cartshed is located at the rear, with concrete block infill where there was originally an open front. To the front is a tall, 3-bay open-fronted cartshed with an 18th-century plank loft door in the front gable. Stone steps to the rear provide access to a loft at the rear, likely a former granary. The farmbuildings feature collar-truss roofs with butt purlins.
