Description
Hensingham is a house, likely built in the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and has a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring three irregularly placed windows. There is a plinth at the base. The entrance consists of an off-centre replaced six-panel door set in a reeded frame, which has a blocked radial fanlight above it. This is topped by a dentilled pedimented hood supported by curved brackets. On either side of the door are sash windows, which have lost their bars, framed in wood architraves with projecting stone cills. The first floor has narrower sash windows, also with lost bars, set in wood box frames without cills. The eaves are coved, and there are two flat-headed dormers with nine-pane sashes and slate cheeks. A 19th-century cast iron bootscraper is located to the right of the doorstep.
