Hendra Farmhouse Including Walls, Gate Piers And Railings To Front

Hendra Farmhouse, which includes the front garden walls, gate piers, and railings, is a farmhouse that dates back to 1683, with the initials T B G on a resited datestone. It was remodeled around the late 18th century and extended in the early 19th century. The front is made of granite ashlar, while the rest is constructed from roughly coursed rubble and some granite ashlar. The building features scantle slate roofs, with a gable-ended roof over the original front range and a hipped roof over the parallel rear range. There is likely a 17th-century granite rubble stack on the left gable, a brick chimney on the right gable, and a later rendered chimney on the cross wall between the two right-hand rooms.

The plan was remodeled in the 18th century, consisting of three rooms along the front. There were probably wings at right angles to the rear, but these were altered in the 19th century. The layout includes large front rooms on the left and right, a cross passage to the right of the left room, and a small front room (likely originally unheated) to the right of the passage. The stair hall is located behind the middle room, with a rear service room on either side.

The exterior is two storeys high, featuring a regular three-window south-west front. The ground floor has wide window openings with paired sashes, while the first floor has square window openings, all topped with flat keyed arches. The doorway is positioned towards the left and features a 20th-century door and 20th-century horned sashes with glazing bars. The rear has an early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash window in the stair hall, and there is a blocked 17th-century chamfered window opening in the right gable end.

The interior has seen little alteration since the early 19th century, retaining some 18th-century two-panel doors and an early 19th-century open-well open-string stair with stick balusters and a ramped mahogany handrail. The front garden is square, enclosed by high granite coped side walls, with a granite plinth along the front topped by iron railings and featuring pyramidal-headed granite monolithic gate piers.
