Description
Hendre-uchaf is a two-storey building with painted stonework and slate roofs, featuring stone stacks. The main range has its entrance at the eastern end, which includes an arched-headed stone opening with a later timber door that has glazed panels, along with a datestone above. Timber sash windows are present throughout. The original service range is lower and positioned at right angles to the main range, featuring timber casement windows and a gable stack, with a projecting oven on the western side and diamond leaded glazing. This range is extended by low outbuildings and a lean-to service room at the left end. An added extension to the main range is narrower than the original.
Although the interior was not accessible during the resurvey, it is noted to retain a significant amount of sub-medieval detail. There are very fine post and panel partitions that separate the two rooms on each floor, with the main posts incised with a guilloche pattern, reminiscent of Plas Mawr in Conwy. Two doorways connect the spaces. The ceilings feature broad chamfered beams and counterchanged joists, all with concave stops and fillets. A large lateral gable fireplace is located on the eastern wall of the hall, and the hall fire beam bears an inscription "ANNO...", which may have been reused and is damaged on the soffit due to a pointed profile being cut. A staircase, likely from the 18th century, may have replaced the original one located to the left of the entry. The wing at right angles was likely added as an integral kitchen, and there is a 19th-century scullery extension added to the south.
