Henblas including adjoining Barn Range

Storeyed house of irregular plan, consisting of a T-shaped house range with an adjoining L-shaped barn range to the R. Of rubble construction with whitened main elevation and late medieval timber-framed core; main roofs of slate with corrugated iron to the barn sections. The house section has a cross-wing to the L with a gabled stack in the front elevation; single window range to the R adjoining the barn. Squat modern brick stack to the gable of the wing; rubble end chimney to the R. Modern windows: one to the ground floor and 2 to the first. A single-storey, hipped-roofed, wrap-around porch addition extrudes in the L corner and projects in front of the chimney gable. This has the main entrance on its inner (R) return; modern door and window to the R. The rear has a similar porch extrusion in the angle between the two wings, hipped as before and with part-open front supported on a brick pillar; modern door and window to the L return. 2 modern windows in late C19 openings to the L, one to each floor. The long side elevation has 3 similar windows to each floor.

Adjoining the house stepped-down to the R is the primary section, now a store. This has a boarded entrance to the L and, to the rear, 2 modern entrances with corrugated doors, that to the R double-width. Adjoining this flush to the R is a later C17 rubble barn section with corrugated iron roof and exposed collar-truss to its weather-boarded upper gable (to the R). Advanced lower wing to the front; of rubble with corrugated iron roof.

Full-cruck arched-braced collar truss to the primary section, with upper collar supported on raking struts and squat king strut above. Cusped windbraces and evidence for wall plates and former wall posts; some replaced purlins. The truss has a triple-arched service partition to its lower section, now open though formerly a closed partition truss; central shouldered arch and flanking chamfered pointed arches below a moulded beam. The present house section has 2 further trusses, one ornate, in the roof space. The main ground-floor room (hall) has a plastered over main beam and bressumer to ceiling and fireplace respectively, both chamfered.
