Disused Farmhouse At Heneward

The disused farmhouse at Henneward is a small house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of local granite rubble and features a rag slate roof with gable ends. The building has a projecting granite rubble end stack on the left and a moulded string with a stone rubble end stack on the right. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central entrance, heated by the end stacks.

The exterior is characterized by a small single-storey structure with a central entrance. The window openings on the right and left have been partly blocked and appear to have been fairly large. Inside, the internal partitions have been removed. The left-hand fireplace, likely intended for the kitchen, has a granite lintel and is partly brick-lined, although the kitchen range has been removed. There is a smaller blocked fireplace on the right-hand gable end with an undressed granite lintel. The roof structure has been partly renewed, with the principals lapped and nailed at the apices. This small house remains in an unaltered yard and has a particularly interesting plan.
