Henley House

Henley House is a 19th-century building, specifically constructed in 1840, now serving as an institution. The house is built from roughcast stone rubble and has a tarred slate roof with chimneys featuring rendered octagonal shafts and some old pots. It has a double-depth plan with a central entrance and a rear kitchen wing that is roofed at right angles.

The exterior of the house is two storeys high, with painted stuccoed quoins and a roof that has deep eaves. The front is asymmetrical, featuring three windows, with the gable ends of two wings on either side and a porch set back between them. The first-floor windows have painted quoins. The Gothic Revival porch is embattled and includes offset diagonal buttresses and a Tudor-arched chamfered outer doorway, along with a Tudor-arched window on the left return. Above the porch, there is a two-light small-pane timber casement window.

On the left gable, there is one ground floor and one first floor 12-pane sash window, while the right gable has a similar first-floor window. The ground floor on the right features a canted bay with a plain parapet and a moulded string below. The windows are primarily glazed with 12-pane sashes in the centre and 8-pane sashes in the outer lights. The right return continues in the same style and includes a tall stair window, which is cut across by the stair and glazed with a small-pane sash, although some glazing bars are missing. French windows with low panels and an overlight with glazing bars are likely original. The left return has a 20th-century French window, but the other 16-pane sashes are original. The rear elevation has a brick lean-to that provides additional service rooms beyond the kitchen wing.

Inside, notable features include chimney-pieces, plaster cornices, a stick baluster stair with a mahogany handrail and newels (with parts of the balustrade renewed), and original paved floors in some of the rear service rooms.
