Description
Henley Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late medieval period and the 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a stone tiled roof with coped gables, a ridge stack, and end wall stacks. The building is one and a half storeys high and has a three-window range of ovolo-moulded recessed mullion windows with hoodmoulds. There are three dormer gables, each containing 2-light windows, and on the ground floor, there are three 3-light windows along with a 20th-century door in an unmoulded surround to the right of the centre. The west end of the farmhouse has a similar 2-light window on each floor.
At the rear, there are two gabled wings; the east side wing has a similar single light window on its east side wall, while the west side wing features a ground floor single light window without a hood. The rear centre includes a late medieval pointed arched doorway and a small pointed light on the first floor. To the right of the west wing, the rear wall has a blocked small upper single light and a blocked lower single light, both ovolo-moulded and with hoods. The farmhouse was recorded as Henlle in a 13th-century marriage settlement. The interior is said to have cruck trusses.
