Description
Bron Hendre is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in the late Georgian style, constructed from coursed dressed stone. It features a hipped graded-slate roof with wide panelled eaves supported by end brackets, and a coursed stone stack located to the right and at the rear. The windows are hornless sashes. The asymmetrical north front showcases a central shallow porch with a pediment, which includes a 4-centred arch leading to a panelled door that has raised fields and a neo-classical wrought iron overlight. To the right, there is a canted bay with a shield in relief on its parapet and a 16-pane window. On the left side, a 15-pane tripartite window is present. The upper storey features 12-pane windows.
The rendered left end wall contains small-pane windows beneath a gable and has a rendered 2-bay former service wing set further back, likely adapted from an earlier house. The upper storey of this wing has a 12-pane window on the left and an added escape doorway with stairs on the right, replacing a former window, along with similar windows in the lower storey.
The right end wall has 2 bays, with the wider left-hand bay featuring a segmental bow. Both bays include tripartite small-pane windows on the lower storey and 12-pane windows above. The rear of the house has a blank pedimented porch with a narrow 6-pane window in its right side wall. Further to the right are an 8-pane and a 12-pane window, while the upper storey has 12-pane windows in the centre and right of centre. The service wing, with its upper storey in scribed render, has an 8-pane window on the lower left and an added gabled projection on the right. Its upper storey features 12-pane windows, with the left side having been replaced.
Inside, the entrance vestibule boasts a plaster ceiling rose and a classical cornice. This leads into the central stair hall, which contains an open-well stair with a wreathed handrail, plain balusters, and moulded tread ends. The lower storey retains panelled doors within moulded surrounds.
