Hendre Farmhouse

Hendre Farmhouse is a late 16th century or early 17th century one-and-a-half storey farmhouse featuring a chimney backing onto a cross passage plan. The exterior is made of whitewashed rubble, with corrugated iron reportedly hiding the remains of a thatched roof. The overhanging eaves have been raised, particularly noticeable in red brick on the gable end. A massive central stone chimney stack is present, along with a later brick stack on the downhill gable end.

The eastern front has a boarded door entrance offset to the right of the main chimney, and another doorway with a half-glazed door at the uphill corner; both have horned six-pane sash windows to the right. The uphill gable end features a boarded loft door, while the downhill end has a horned twelve-pane sash window. The rear displays a mix of six-pane hoppers and horned sashes, including a small, deeply-recessed attic window; a masonry break indicates a blocked former cross passage doorway.

Inside, the ground floor has beamed ceilings, with the best example located in the parlour, which features stop-chamfered detail and has been later carved with the date 1759. The hall ceiling has been plastered over. The main walls are battered on the inside and have deep window recesses with ledges; the main partition walls are also made of stone. There are boarded doors and a massive timber lintel above the main fireplace, next to which is the staircase. The downhill parlour has chamfered joists and an axial beam, but a later fireplace suggests it was originally an unheated parlour. The cross passage has been blocked at the rear and converted into a small room between the main chimney and the parlour. A dairy is located at the uphill end at the rear. Despite the eaves being raised in the 19th century, the original sub-medieval roof structure remains intact, featuring an A-frame with windbraces and two rows of purlins, along with studded partitions in the attic.
