Description
Hendragreen Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century, although it was partly remodeled and rebuilt in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from stone rubble and cob, with the earlier part of the front wall rendered above the ground floor. The roof is slate and features gable ends. On the left side, there is a projecting stone rubble end stack with a brick shaft, while the right side has a stone rubble end stack and a brick shaft for the rear lateral hall stack.
The original layout of the house is uncertain, but it consists of a main range with a three-room and cross passage plan, where the lower end on the right is heated by an end stack. There is a 19th-century stair located in a 19th-century lean-to outshut at the rear of the passage. The hall is heated by a rear lateral stack, and the inner room to the left is heated by an end stack, with a dairy directly behind in a shallow rear wing. Although the left-hand end above the passage has been significantly remodeled, including a rebuilt front wall and possibly raised ceilings, it is likely that the original 17th-century house had a similar three-room and passage layout. In the 18th century, the lower end was used as a parlour, and by the early to mid 19th century, the inner room likely served as the kitchen and is larger than the hall.
The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical four-window front. The earlier elevation on the right is rendered above the ground floor, while the rebuilt front wall on the left has granite quoins and brick segmental arches. The windows are all 19th-century sashes. The entrance is located to the right of the centre and has a 19th-century panelled door. To the right, there are two 20-pane sashes, with two 16-pane sashes above. The rebuilt front wall on the left has larger window openings, with a 19th-century panelled door on the left, two 20-pane sashes to the right, and two 20-pane sashes on the first floor.
Inside, there is a wide passage with a 19th-century dog-leg stair leading to the rear in the two-storey outshut. The lower end, which serves as the parlour, features a low 19th-century plastered ceiling and two late 17th-century or early 18th-century raised and fielded panelled doors flanking a later 19th-century fireplace. The large fireplace, which is partly blocked, heats the inner room and has a 19th-century mantle shelf.
